| I'm not sure i totally agree. But i guess the most disappointing thing is that Daniela really looked like cementing her position inside the worlds top ten before she got injured. I actually think she would realistically have challenged all of the slams this year, but now there's just something miss... |

| Hsieh and Peng up next for Daniela and Ai (a team that beat them a few weeks ago). Although its nice to see Daniela progressing in doubles I think I'd prefer to see her training and working on her singles game. Daniela is far too professional to do what you are suggesting. I think all wins are good... |

| I wonder how fit Daniela is as she had her leg taped in her Madrid, which is something I can't ever remember her doing before, and her movement has been fairly moderate in Warsaw and Roland Garros. She has played a lot of tournaments lately so fatigue could be setting in a little. She did mention t... |

| Where did you watch?Eurosport player had coverage of court 3. Very surprised they showed it, but grateful nonetheless. |

| Really? Didnt pay much attention, perhaps. What did you see? Hope they dont have problems, its enough to have to deal with troubles in the game department. The coach and the player are supposed to be a team... It seemed everytime she made an UE,she would gesticulate towards Larri in a complaining m... |

| And without a decent serve, not much hope. I've just watched the match,and believe it or not,I don't think the serve is the issue. Her first serve was pretty decent,particularly out wide to the BH. If she serves her first serve like that on grass,she should do well. The problems lay elsewhere. Move... |

Daniela isn't playing that badly at the moment. Of course she can win!  |

I think she will be relieved being off clay once she loses to RazzanoThat's not the attitude to have!  She could have drawn Safina,you know. Besides this RG court is playing like greased lightning in comparison to Warsaw. And if there's one place that Passos knows how to win,it's here. |

I didn't see Daniela's rant;She didn't rant,it would have been much better if she did,to release some of that tension and give Larry something to work with. Instead,she calls for the coach and gives him the silent treatment,it was very peculiar to watch. good coaches will be able to handle outbursts from a player Like Sears at RG 2003?  That still pisses me off to this day.  |

| Oh well, Id rather blame it on ultra frustration... It's understandable why she acted as she did,because the slowness of the court was obviously bothering her. However,I believe if she setled down and concentrated on the task at hand,she could have still won the game. She was only a break down,and ... |

| I saw that she was quite frustrated, but couldn't notice what she said. I was watching at work, volume turned down. It seemed to start during the previous series of games-Daniela got broken with a truly hideous FH UE,then despite winning the next point gave Larry a real mouthful of abuse . She then... |

Hope you're right martin. Daniela behaved really immaturely in that 3rd set yesterday and really left a bad taste in my mouth. When your coach is trying to help you,don't mock him behind his back.
Lenglen played pretty quickly last year,so lets hope Daniela gets to play there. |

Really disappointing,Daniela just keeps blowing these golden oppurtunities. Larry really has his work cut out for him.  |
