A semifinal! Can't recall the last one of those. Very efficient win for Dani today. I'm not bothered by the BP numbers because almost all of them came in 2 games, and she won one of those.
#568 today. How about 2 more this week, Dani?

Daniela lost 6-4 6-4. It's disappointing as this was a good chance for Daniela to get to the final but it wasn't to be. Daniela was 2-0 in the first set but Daniela lost her next three service games - she also broke von Deichmann - to find herself 3-5 down before von Deichmann won the set 6-4. Von Deichmann won all 3 BPs she had in the first set but Daniela was only 2/6, she had chances to to go 3-1 up and get to 4-4 but couldn't convert.

Daniela also lead 2-0 in the second set and was 30-30 on her serve before von Deichmann won 10 points in a row to lead 3-2. Daniela broke back and held to lead 4-3 but Deichmann held, broke Daniela to 30 and then served the match out. Deichmann won all six BPs she had which is pretty freakish while Daniela was 4/9. Daniela & von Deichmann won a pretty similar percentage of first serve points (56.4% for Daniela, 55.6% for von Deichmann) but von Deichmann got far more first serves in at 83.9% to Daniela's 63.9% while she won 5/10 of her second serve points compared to Daniela going only 6/22. It would have been great if Daniela had won this but von Deichmann beat fifth seed Solovyeva and former top 50 player Torro-Flor so she's in good form this week.

It looked like it was very windy!
