There's so little to get excited about Daniela these days. However, if I am reading her FB messages and the interviews you post here, I do believe that Dani has found peace. That makes me happy.

Thanks so much for posting this, Chungwit. It warmed my heart. It has actually become easier to root for Daniela these days, at least in my view. May she stick with it long enough to reach 600 wins.

Daniela, who was in the main draw with a wild card at Honolulu, withdrew today.

Daniela had a shot at this one. She had a nice comeback to take the first set. Had she been able to cash some break points later on, she might have put it away before getting injured. What frustrates me more than the events of today is that it was an abdominal injury that stopped her in Eastbourne 5...

Daniela plays on the main court, not before 6:15 PM. Mladenovic withdrew. #9 seed Wang takes her spot in the draw.

Daniela goes up against #151 ranked Ipek Soylu, from Turkey. She reached a final in September in Zhuhai. No OMG wins this year that I see. Dani should have a decent shot at a move into the next round. Fingers are crossed.

It's another triumph of the heart and the spirit! The 6 BP game was not good for my BP (blood pressure!), yet it was Dani's mental strength through and through. Very grateful that I slept through the first set. Picked it up at 4-1 in the second, and from there it seemed like every point was difficul...

I never like it when Daniela goes up against a player with a name I can't spell or pronounce. It would be cool if she can even the score from two years ago.

This was a match that was within reach, but Daniela never seemed to be in control of things and it slithered away. Overall, as you said, Chungwit, an encouraging weekend with the comebacks and the out of nowhere bushel of aces. Two questions: 1. Has Daniela ever gained into the main draw as a lucky ...

Daniela is always so considerate of me. Since I wasn't able to follow the Davis match, she replayed it for me today! Thank you, young lady! 16 Aces :!: :!: :!: When did that last happen? Goodness gracious land sakes alive! Do you remember when she once lamented that she could use a new right arm? Wh...

Wowwee! :beer: An old fashioned 3 setta Danielathon special! I'm vacationing in San Diego, and for some reason the WTA Live Scores site wasn't providing Linz scores, so I am more grateful than ever for your detailed report, Chungwit. It's heartwarming to see our gal pull one out for the first time i...

I remember the very pleasant surprise 2007 Linz was. Even Daniela was a bit stunned, particularly as to how the win got her into the WTA Championships. Got a kick out of the gushing comments of the tournament director. If we assume for argument's sake that the 2007 final drew a sellout crowd, you do...

Appreciated the details, Chungwit. The rain delays left me just too tired to follow things. The one time I did check before turning in, Daniela was down 0-2 and 30-40, which was the perfect time for her to serve an ace. She won the next two points to hold, and I figured that was a nice time to leave...

Thanks for the info on Yuki, Chungwit. Daniela must have respected her, because she pulverized her! 6-1 6-2 in 53 minutes. This is the most lopsided match she's won probably all year. Some of the stats are really whacko. Dani won 52 of the 76 points played in spite of only getting 53% of her first s...
