That could happen if the other matches take a long time and Daniela's match can't be completed tomorrow evening, Jean Raj. I find it a bit odd that a doubles match is on before a singles match although it will take a similar time as a women's singles would.

Are you going tomorrow, Jean Raj?
Yes possibly after work, depending on the progress of the matches...

I suppose the best thing about the scheduling is that you can go to the tennis without skipping work and worrying about your boss seeing you, Jean Raj.

Almagro just beat Dolgopolov so it's just the doubles match now before Daniela.

Daniela's doubles match is third on Court 9 after a women's and a men's doubles, play starts at 11am.

I saw some of the match and the scoreline is not so kind. Daniela was poor in important points and I really thought she'd go on a run of games in the 2nd set. Bencic was very solid and is a really good match player. Hope to salvage something in the doubles but hopefully grass will bring some much needed wins. By far the worst clay season of her career.

Daniela Hantuchova for the fourth time in his career in Paris ends the first round.

When I pushed it, the ball in the corners very well ran out. For my part it was clumsy, I did not win a lot of matches, and when I had the chance, and I wanted to use them, either I went into it too much or not at all ... I had a chance in the administration, and then I froze. "
Hantuchova resolutely refuses transition exclusively for doubles. "No way. All my life I played tennis because of the singles, doubles and mix, it was just a supplement, "she said with a smile to lighten adds: , "Before I laugh at that I would through the second week Grand Slam tournament could play legends.

Darn Fed Cup..kinda makes sense now why she played with very little confidence recently. Funnily enough if she had taken the clay season off then she would not have been in any worse off points wise than she is.

Daniela should pull out of doubles to take advantage of this time to rest her elbow and to get early preparation for grass but she is too kind to not let stosur down...
