I think she played well in the second set. Though she lacks match practice. I have my doubts about the 2nd round. I don't think she can win unfortunately. First of all congratulations Daniela. I dont think alot of us believed that you could win today and you proved us wrong and you have hopefully proved some of the doubters wrong who thought you returned too early. Now onto the next round... Although Christina I wouldnt say that I think that she will lose, I do think that Daniela may struggle. She seemed to be doing ok today, her movement looked fine and her winners count was brilliant but the usual unforced errors were there in abundance as well. Kleybanova won through qualifying to reach the Quarter finals at Eastbourne last week so she will be full of confidence but if Daniela can keep that winners count up she will always have a chance Scott |

I only watched the tiebreak and almost all the second set. Daniela played better than I thought, well done. But we can notice that there is still lot of work to do for her to come back to where she was. Of course the main thing is, she can get through and I can't notice any sign of injury. Hopefully that is true what I saw, which means she is really ready to come back and that is great. I have no expectation at all, since this is her first tournament after such a long time. Every win is a bonus for me. Congratulations again and rest well Daniela. |

Seeds Knocked Out Today: Katarina Srebotnik (23) that was one hell of a match 4-6 7-6 16-14!! A very long final set in that one, I think its times like these when you would rather lose in a final set tiebreak then go through the too-ing and throwing of a set like that Scott |

This is from the Wimbledon site.... Rumours of Daniela Hantuchova’s demise were a little premature. The lovely Dani Hani has just broken Sara Errani to love to make it fives in the first set. I’m a fan of her’s – her level of play is awesome but she needs to step up to the next level mentally (in my humble opinion), as testified by her final-set collapse here last year when Serena was on one leg and still beat her.

Julia Goerges was crying at the end of the match. Clearly took alot out of her so not sure what she will be able to bring to her 2nd round match. Not an easy opponant in Erakovic either. |

She has great height and reach and good accuracy (which is why she’s a top ten player). James Blake is out there against Belgium’s Christophe Rochus – it’s going with serve on Court No. 2 about half-way through the first set. 7.55 pm: Daniela Hantuchova wins, 7-6, 6-4. I’d like her to go far this year. Written by AELTC staff |

Under the circumstances it's a very good win for Daniela. She showed great determination to fight back in the first set and while she could have won the second set more easily than she did, she got a straight sets win and that's good given how many problems she's had this year and her lack of practice and fitness. Hopefully, Daniela didn't have any physical problems and she gets some confidence and rhythm from this match. Kleybanova will be a tough opponent and it would be a great win for Daniela. Every match she wins is a bonus as is staying healthy. So far, so good. |

and you have hopefully proved some of the doubters wrong who thought you returned too early. This doesn't prove anything, she played injured for many months and was able to win matches. Until I read that she really doesn't have any problems and it doesn't hurt anymore I will have my doubts. Her movement didn't seem affected by any injury, though. |

Her website is not yet updated with the result. Surprise, surprise. I just returned from work and am looking forward to seeing the match particularly considering the good reports I have read here. Daniela pretty much brought my productivity down to zero from 4-4 to the end of the first set.  Coincidentally, I have Thursday off so I'll be blogging here while watching the match live. |

Hey guys, I was at wimbledon today and saw daniela's match on court 6. Here are some points i'd like to say: 1. Daniela fought brilliantly throughout the match. 2. I noticed that Daniela would not even attempt to retrieve balls that would mean a quick change of direction. I still think that the heel is still a cause for concern although obviously she can play at the moment. 3. In the first set Daniela was extremely angry with herself which I believed helped her get back into the 1st set. I've never seen Daniela so angry! She whacked her bag a few times with her racketduring change of ends. In the 2nd set she calmed down and was never really in trouble. 4. Errors Daniela made was 9 times out of 10 going long rather than in the net. All in all her groundstokes were very good but could penetrate more. 5. One thing that annoyed me was Errani's coach sat behind me and kept talking to Errani in Italian. I hate illegal caoching during matches, i wanted to say something ha ha! As a result Errani kept going to Daniela's backhand and it worked! 6. Finally, Errani was no pushover today, she retreived so many balls! Daniela had to do many overheads - she didn't miss one! Hope these comments helped. Daniela was so happy when she won, both relief and happiness! |

Than you for the scores, especially Christina in the first set.  Well done, Daniela. I'm surprised she won. I only saw the match point on TV.
