Dreading the draw...

Daniela plays Irina-Camelia Begu, the 14th seed, in the first round. If she wins that she's play Cetkowska or a qualifier and the third round would be against Ivanovic or a qualifier although that could be looking a bit too far ahead.

Pretty much anyone Daniela played would be tough, certainly tougher than Linette, but I suppose that Begu's decent enough out of all the seeds. Beau's been playing well this year but her grass results in her career have been poor so that's what gives Daniela a chance. Daniela has nothing to lose and maybe being the underdog will liberate her. The first set will be crucial as Daniela has lost the first set every time in her current losing streak while every time this year she's won the first set she's won the match.


And most notably, all 7 came after her Twitter and FB posts of her photo with the f'ing Biebs! ) With all this in mind, I wonder if the draw even matters.
Bouchard's been terrible since then as well.

Was she posing with that idiot too?


Bouchard got totally Pwned by Dulgheru at the Fed Cup as well which would have been a blow to her ego, albeit totally deserved. Dish served ice cold etc.

Order of play's out and Daniela's not playing.

Tomorrow's hopefully not one-and-doner is the 4th match on Court 2, not to begin before 5:00 British time. Let the lamentations begin.

Daniela's match was switched to Court 3 and has started. She's down 3-2 early on.
