Something must keep the forum alive during the off-season

2002
Best: Aus Open R32 vs. Williams 63 06 46, the only time she has ever won a set against Venus. Or Zurich R16 bt. Dementieva 35 76 76. Was down with mps in the 2nd set, but had amazing comeback, and fought until the end. Amazing watch. Other matches worth mentioning: Indian Wells R16 (bt Henin), Indian Wells Final and US Open R16 (bt Henin 76 in 3rd set tiebreak)
Worst: Eastbourne SF vs. Myskina 26 16, she was not herself in that match, totally un-present (if that is a word)

2003
Best: Sydney QF vs. Davenport 46 63 67, I don't remember any really well-played or good matches from 2003, except this one. She should have won.
Worst: Wimbledon R64 vs. Asagoe 60 46 10-12.

2004
Best: Eastbourne SF bt. Mauresmo 46 64 64
Worst: Quebec Ciry R16 vs. Gloria 36 62 16, losing to an unranked player. Can't have been a pretty match

2005
Best: Zurich R16 vs. Davenport 63 57 26. Davenport was number 2 at the time, and advanced to number 1 in the next rankings, but Daniela was the better player until serving for the match in the second. I think I remember the commentator saying that the match didn't look like number 2 vs. 19, but more as two top5 players.
Worst: Luxembourg QF vs. Dechy 16 46, I think this was a match in which she played really uninspiring tennis after a beautiful win in R16

2006
Best: Zurich Final vs. Sharapova 16 64 36. Even though she lost, I like the match. Very nervous in the first set, but played freely and beautifully in the 2nd and 3rd. A runner-up could be the Aus Open R32 vs. Serena, she had a tactic going into the match and played according to the plan in the first set especially.
Worst: Doha R16 vs. Li, 64 67 61, had two mps at 51 2nd set, and two at 5-3 (all four in own serve)

2007
Best: Doha QF bt. Hingis 16 64 64. Was down 16 14 I think, and then played amazing tennis to win. Such a great match to watch
Worst: Berlin R64 vs. Ondraskova 16 36, didn't see it, but can't have been pretty. Also a candidate: Wimbledon R16 vs. Serena 26 76 26, terrible 3rd set, she should have won. Even served a serve that bounced on her own side of the net.

2008
Best: Aus Open QF bt. Radwanska 62 62 - revenging her loss from Zurich in 2007, and getting past the QF for the very first time. Can't really find other candidates
Worst: Zurich R32 vs. Kirilenko 57 26 - plays a competitive first serve (maybe even leading) and then collapsing after being broken in the very end. She This also happened in Indian Wells vs Masha and in Luxembourg vs Cirstea, but I think the one against Makiri was the worst.

2009
Best: def. Cibulkova 67*4 76*13 10-8 in French Open Final
Worst: repeating the SF loss at the Aus Open to Ivanovic

Of all the slams you pick her worst, and you make it a nail biter as well?! Well I guess with Daniela, anything is, literally, possible!!!

Scott

well it was a difficult decision between this one, and then beating Venus on grass at Wimbledon 75 75 in the final. Winning a match against Venus finally really counted high, and then at Wimbledon, but Venus really helped with 15 DFs. Beating a fellow Slovak on what Daniela thinks is her own worst surface and then holding nerves like that in her first GS final. So sweet.
