The weather in Cincinnati is ridicoulous 38'C on Tuesday afternooon!

We'll just see what happens against Pavlyuchenkova.

Pavlyuchenkova has been kryptonite for Daniela this year, but the only other top players she's beaten this year were Kleybanova in Brisbane and Schiavone in Miami.

Since she played Pavlyuchenkova in Madrid, Daniela's beaten Wickmayer, Bartoli and Kleybanova who are all comparable in style and ability to Pavyluchenkova and Pavlyuchenkova hasn't beaten a top player since Madrid. She did win Istanbul so she'll be confident, although the highest ranked player she beat there was Vesnina at 60.

The conditions seem like they'll be brutal and if it comes down to stamina and conditioning then I'd favour Daniela under normal circumstances but Pavlyuchenkova will be rested as she's had the week off and she'll have been in Cincinnati preparing while Daniela had her run in San Diego and will have had to travel between San Diego and Cincinnati so she won't have had too much of a chance to rest or acclimatise.

It'll be a tough match and Daniela's up against someone who's been a difficult opponent for her this year plus there's always the possibility of a let down after San Diego, but Daniela will be confident after San Diego and, as I said before, she ended a losing run against a Russian nemesis here last year.

Daniela's not playing doubles anymore...I guess she realised it was too much to ask, after the flight...

Daniela on San Diego and Cincinnati:

The scale of two hundred points will be added that will make the 24th toy world. "Before the tournament I am looking to draw on the progress to the semifinals or dream. I am very satisfied that I fought for each state of each ball, which gives me much confidence in other tournaments," said Hantuchova. For our tennis is the third best result this year. Prebojovala the furthest in Mexico, where it ended up in the final. Hantuchova is now a priority for the performance last season Grand Slam U.S. Open this week, but it is waiting for the tournament in Cincinnati.

The súperkou in the first round will be Russia's Anastasia Pavľučenková. "In Cincinnati, it will be very difficult. I do not know how to move there at all. There are other conditions, there is much more heat and three hours time difference. I hope that together and I will try to enchant the best outcome," added Hantuchova, who advocates the participation of Cincinnati in the quarterfinals of last year.
