From what's flying around on Daniela's FB page, it had better be Vika. Some are saying that if Julia wins the tourney, she goes to Bali and Dani's out. You guys know all that stuff; anything to it?

Benji my brother: You're right; that's been a problem for Dani too often. What I was saying was that she doesn't put on Nastase/Connors/McEnroe displays (I know that in her early years there was some racket throwing, which she says she now regrets), and if I'm reading Jean Raj correctly, she did do ...

Mr. Chungwit: You and I feel almost exactly the same way about Daniela in almost every way (now, thinking the way I do can be dangerous; if I was you I'd be scared! :o ). If we now see this year as ruined and a What Might Have Been, imagine how she sees it. Daniela rarely blows up over bad calls; th...

Stirring comeback (will the day ever come where people will stop questioning Daniela's intestinal fortitude :?: ) Logic now dictates that, considering the lingering health questions, service struggles, and back-to-back marathon matches, and stuck with facing Petra when almost every other seed was KO...

Ho-Hum. Another day, another 2:40 match for Daniela. This matchup scared me, and she rose Pepto-Bismol stock again, but all of us will take a win. It has long since been the case that the theme song for Daniela and all of us is Ringo Starr's "It Don't Come Easy." Yet the wacky thing is tha...

You know, I have a brother named Benji, and he never agrees with me, either! I last saw Daniela and Aga in their US Open semi loss to Huber/Raymond. On several occasions, I saw both of them smile after saying something to each other between points. Of course they're focused during actual play, or th...

Mr. Chungwit, we would all love to be able to offer Daniela a hug and a shoulder to cry on, and there certainly have been times recently where we'd think she could use it. One of the many admirable qualities that makes it easy to root for Dani is her resilience. Given all that she has put up with in...

No one's posted here in a long time, I see. Sharapova is the most overrated performer in all of professional sports, and I follow almost all of them! But I have another fish to fry, going way back. (I was really hoping to do this after a Daniela victory at the Open or even Quebec City, but it's wort...

And when she does, let's hope at least it's with a gold medal in her pocket!

Hey, guys, I know where you're coming from. None of us want Daniela hurting, and we're all frustrated over the missed opportunities. But, at this stage of her life, tennis is who she is and what she does. We certainly remember how ticked she got over being called Kournakova Lite and the oft-repeated...

Lesson #5 in how one goes from being a Daniela Maniac to just a maniac: Since when does one root not for one player or the other in a match, but rather for the match to go on and on? Paszek/Watson is a war right now, and the longer they go at it, the longer Daniela can stay off of her bad foot!

Very happy for Samantha. Actually, I'm happy for Sam, Daniela, and most everyone else in the top 30. Let's go back to Eastbourne and the return of the Williams sisters. While they were idle, Dani and many others stepped up their games and put a suspenseful, quality product for us to enjoy. Meantime,...

I am extremely appreciative of the postings of interviews with Daniela, even if the translations are a bit funky. This has been the only way I have been able to see what she has to say. On her FB page, nothing has been posted under Daniela's name since Cincinnati. Some of the other Wall Writers on h...

Imagine how good Daniela and Aga could be if they ever got to play more together. Or, if they were fully healthy. I have been calling them TDTWTHA. Meaning...The Doubles Team With Two Good Arms! Let's Go, Daniela (and Aga)!
