Good solid win by Daniela. She played some nice controlled tennis, rallied consistently and her experience and willpower saw her through.

Jovanovski did play well and she hit some great backhand winners and her first serve was good and she gave Daniela a good challenge but Daniela was the more consistent and solid player. Jovanovski has a lot of potential.

Daniela didn't play as well as she did in Miami or Charleston, but considering how tired and sore she must be she played well in the circimstances.

Daniela's now got the most wins of any Slovak in the Fed Cup.

Daniela Hantuchova after the game: "I played solid, tried to behave in the circumstances and the best endurance. Súperka show my desire is still very young and can improve. At the beginning of the second set, I had a little game loss, but eventually I showed a standard that was enough to win. "There was now enough positive moments in which you can build in tomorrow's match against Jankovic. A week ago we played together in Charleston a good match, I won and I will try it on again. I do not feel the best but I forget the fatigue. The only thing I am interested in is to get rolling tomorrow other two points."

Matthew Liptak (team captain SR): "Before the first day all the expectation that it will be 1:1. Favourite player won today, so it is also fulfilled. Failed to anything which we did. Rybáriková Magda today played a match in which could succeed. The game concept to find out how to win your service, but not súperkin. ... Jelena damage was a little better at the important moments and returne aggressive. setbalu pity that when Magda got scared can be a little chance, but overall played quite well. As regards Daniela, has done what we expected from it, and no major problems vybojovala important balancing point. Tomorrow it will be interesting. Chances are open for both sides."

Bojana Jovanovski: "It was my first match in Fed Cup and I did not play badly, but súperku it nearly enough. In particular, the beginnings of both sets appeared to me, but then improved Hantuchova, playing relaxed and showed a greater experience. Overall, I did a lot of unnecessary mistakes when I missed a clear situation to return to gain points, but also from the administration I was able to extract more. In the next match, I hope will be better."
@ google translation.

I only hope JJ is more tired than Daniela is. With all that crowd behind JJ, it will be too hard for Daniela. I expect a mental breaakdown here.
I believe if Daniela plays smartly, she can take this win. But JJ know what to do to avoid the def.

All the best Daniela!
