Daniela doubles played with John McEnroe against Jim Courier & Chris Evert. I don't know who won. While I can't yet find a result, I can tell you that Daniela won, big time! What I mean is that, while still an active player, she has become an ambassador for her sport. There are many active or r...

In recent years Errani has rubbed some of us the wrong way for one reason or another. I just read a more detailed synopsis of this match. Daniela could instantly see that Errani was very hobbled. On her serve, Dani ruthlessly won many points by drop shotting her. At 0-2 in the 2nd, Errani had tears ...

Dani wore blue and orange, which happen to be the colors of the New York Mets. The result makes even more sense now to me. :P Some numbers: 6 aces for Daniela, including 5 in the 2nd set. (Do we dare take any hopes from one of the stories using the words overpowering and big-hitting?) Errani tapped ...

OMG! Daniela ROCKS! Daniela RULES!! I will await details as to why Dani was asked to play singles. Whatever the reason, she faced our old fave Errani in the first match and she flat out kicked her Italian keyster! 6-2, 6-0. If you recall, if those scores are flipped, that's exactly what she beat Er...

This looks the definition of mismatch. One where the doubles are cancelled because they're meaningless. Good to see that Daniela is enjoying herself and sees this as an honor, but that's about she will get to do.

Fed Cup vs Italy, 11-12 February. OK. Now things begin to make sense. Daniela may well not have known that her country would need her again at the time she entered the ITF tourneys. She then probably chose not to travel to America than have to shoot back over to Italy. Too bad she had to miss out o...

That solves it, Chungwit. Daniela could not resist the lures contained in the burgeoning metropolis that is Midland, Michigan and went there early!

I imagine you are taking that from the ITF site, which still shows gaps in the draw and really is a hot mess POS site. I'll give it a little more time. But we have never been totally sure about what Daniela is up to.

These ITF entries prove conclusively that when Daniela says she's still playing because she loves to, she means it. I mean, these are not the garden spots of America, folks. I have lived in the USA for all my 60 years and have an affinity for geography, and I have never heard of Winter Chapel, Flori...

This was discouraging only from the perspective that it's hard to figure out, as it has been from the last couple of years, what Daniela can do to overcome the young bombers that serve it 10-15 MPH harder that she does. Yet today she had 7 missed BP's, so she got to the verge of breaking a sizzling ...
