Patti1989: At this time of the season, many of Dani's matches take place in the middle of the night here in upstate New York. Your play-by-play posts are deeply appreciated. :) Another solid performance (I trust Aga will get over it soon enough!). Ms. King threatens 2 streaks: Daniela's 6-0 record o...

Loved the cruel Daniela line, Benji! A wee bit late with this observation, but just when you figure that anyone could be pulled out of the seats and force Dani to play 3 sets and 3 hours in the first round, she crushes Wannabe in 1:01. That's why we love her! As for the next match, doesn't this pose...

OK, so it wasn't 1 & 2 in 57 minutes, but it was straight sets, not bad at all. I am so, so happy for Daniela. What joy must have been in her heart as she clinched the tie and was wildly cheered by her people! She endures so much; she deserves moments like that. Here in America, it is Super Sund...

Normally, I'm ecstatic anytime Daniela wins, particularly when she guts one out like today. And it's neat that she did in front of an appreciative home crowd. But, as one who sees most glasses half empty, there's not a lot to like here. Could have been an easy one, but the 1st set got away and it be...

Love seeing our gal using the word Revenge about Parmentier. That's the spirit! Let's Go, Daniela!

Fed Cup was disastrous for Dani last year. Hoping for better. This would be Daniela's perfect week, as I see it; let's see how close I come. It's already started well with her officially cracking top 20 again. Then, a few more days with family/friends/practices. On Saturday, she goes first, draws Pa...

If I'm reading this right, Doha and Dubai have flip-flopped their dates in February, and Daniela, recalling how weak she felt when she went from Fed Cup to her win and Thailand and then right straight to Dubai, appears to be skipping Doha, giving her a week between her title defense and Dubai. So th...

I'm feeling the same way. Patti. Dani and Aga really look like they have it together. They beat Vinci/Errani in New York, as we recall. Here's hoping! Now, why I keep trying to figure out the rankings is beyond me. I hope to be corrected on this, but as I see it, Ivanovic will pass Daniela, leaving ...

I'll preface by saying I wasn't able to see yesterday's match. When that happens, I rely on you guys, long-time, dedicated and perceptive Daniela fans that you are. Clearly from your descriptions, Dani played like crud much of the match. I understand the frustration; felt it many times myself. But, ...

My bad. That's if people like Ivanovic and Georges DON'T go a long way!

I don't imagine this escaped anyone's attention. Pannetta flamed out last night, and she dropped a bundle of points. Daniela will clearly pass her, and as long as people like Ivanovic and Georges go a long way, the top 20 awaits! Keep our fingers crossed! Geaux, Daniela!

Maalox special? Oh, yeah. Deja vu? Thank heaven, no. Look, here in New York it is very rare that a 1st round match of Dani's is televised live and at a sensible hour, so given that chance tonight, why shouldn't I be treated to quintessential Daniela? Sometimes exceptional, sometimes like she was 5 y...

Deja vu all over again? Last year, Daniela, dealing with a foot injury, faced someone she had not seen before and someone known only to her relatives and close friends, ranked #114. We know the result. Tomorrow, Daniela, dealing with a foot injury, faces a player she has not seen, known only to clos...

Impostor alert: Someone has recently created a Facebook page using Daniela's name. At first whoever this is went back and forth between 1st and 3rd person references, but in recent days the messages start "Hi. I beat so-and-so today" or "Hi. I play so-and-so tomorrow", and end &q...

If Scott is Ever the Optimist, I am Ever the Glass Half Empty. I'm cringing; sick at heart. Every time Dani starts to play her best and we dare to hope and dream, something horrible happens. We of course were aware that the foot was not healed and that it could get bad at any time. Rather than look ...
