"Nadia Petrova" Tops Yahoo Search

Yahoo.com features a list of top searches done to its engine. I logged in at 5.10 pm CST, Jan 24 and the hottest search topic is tennis player "Nadia Petrova". Petrova is making waves in the 2010 Australian Open as she has now eliminated two tournament favorites from the first grand slam of the year. She dealt 2009 US Open champion Kim Clijsters her worst career defeat in the third round by scoring a 60 61 victory. She followed that up with a three-set win over 2009 French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth round.

Petrova, seeded 19th in the tournament, is now into her 8th career grand slam quarterfinal. She will meet recently un-retired Justine Henin for a place in the semifinals. Petrova lost twice to Henin in the past two months - the first being an exhibition in Cairo and the second, a first round match-up in a Brisbane tournament at the start of the tennis year. If Petrova beats Henin, she will undoubtedly continue to be a top Yahoo search topic.
