• Petrova rallies past Mattek for Quebec title

  
  

  Quebec City, QC (Sports Network) - Nadia Petrova of Russia came back from a set down to beat American Bethanie Mattek for the title at the Bell Challenge.

  The top-seeded Petrova rallied for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 triumph to earn her ninth career title and second of 2008. She also captured the crown in Cincinnati before the U.S. Open.

  Mattek, seeded sixth, had never before reached a WTA final. She lost in the semifinals twice earlier this year -- at Birmingham before Wimbledon and at the East West Bank Classic in Los Angeles in July.

  This was the first meeting between the two.

  The victory was worth $28,000 for Petrova.
