I think Daniela is in a position to take advantage of a half decent draw. It's going to be hard considering the field. But hopefully things pan out well.

The whole draw is .

Daniela's Section:
(7) Radwanska v. Cirstea
Daniela v. Wozniak
Chakvetadze v. Kirilenko
(3) Dementieva v. Keothavong

Definitely not the best draw, but certainly not the worst either. At least, she's not playing a top flight player until round three.

Not a good draw but I hope she play well. She ain't get any younger.

It's a decent draw. Wozniak is the defending champion, so you've got to respect what she's achieved at this tournament but her form this year has been inconsistent. Wozniak had a good run at Ponte Vedra beach and had some good wins at Eastbourne, especially thrashing Kuznetsova, but the rest of the time she's had a lot of early exits and some of these have been to fairly modest players.

Wozniak is the sort of player Daniela should beat if she wants to establish herself in the top twenty and hopefully she'll continue her Wimbledon form.

Daniela's draw is ok, at least there is a chance she will win a match or perhaps even two.
I predict Dementieva to win the whole thingSomehow I get a similar feeling.

Wozniak is currently ranked #37 in the world and has a 16-15 W/L this year.
She had a good Ponte Vedra tournament where she beat Craybas, Lisicki, Paszek and Petrova losing in the final against Wozniaki.
She lost 75 60 to nr176 Oudin in Charleston and 76 63 to nr87 Goerges, reached 4r at Roland Garros defeating Niculescu, Martic and Dominguez Lino being trashed by Serena 61 62.
At Eastbourne she trashed 60 63 Kuznetsova, beat Jie Zheng and Dushvina before losing in the SF to Wozniaki and lost in the 1st round in Wimbledon to Schiavone.

This is going to be their 1st meeting .

Wozniak, who lost her first match at Wimbledon (to Schiavone) plays Daniela Hantuchova in the first round. Hantuchova has been ranked as high as third in the world.

"It's definitely a challenge," Wozniak said. "The best players in the world are here. It looks like there are more players in the Top 10 here as well. It’s like a mini Grand Slam. I love this tournament though. When I play on center court it feels like I am playing at home."
