A repeat of 2005 would be wonderful

Long time no see. It may be expected for Daniela to choke,but that doesn't make it any easier to take.I know it does not. Luckily I am not emotionally involved anymore. It feels great. And I promise to visit the forum more often from now on, it would be a shame to abandon such a fantastic community.

Lost the match

Oh Daniela!?

Had you told me at the beginning of the tournament that you would get to the 3rd round, I would have been satisfied with that. But knowing you had chances... I don't know why I keep expecting deep runs in tournaments. It was really foreseeable that up 5-2 with 3 set points that she was still going to struggle to close it out, and I had the right mind not to celebrate too early. I was however pleased with her play to go up 5-2. There were points where she was absolutely dictating the play, moving Dementieva from side to side and really getting a lot of depth in her shots.

It's just soooo unfair that Daniela continues getting these craptastic draws. Had she been placed in Martinez-Sanchez's section with Schnyder, Wickmayer and Jankovic/Kanepi, she could have made the QF.

Meh! At least next year, she won't have too many points to defend in the USO Series and can gain points. And I guess she has very little points to defend the rest of this season and beginning of next, so she can hopefully get some good wins and much needed points. All she needs is a little luck with draws!

Add to the coulda/woulda/shoulda file pronto!

The frustrating thing is that Daniela has been having so many tough draws since Rome when she's invariably had a first round against someone that's ranked higher than her and/or has a winning record against her. The double whammy is that Daniela's been competitive and had her chances in pretty much all of her loses since Rome. She's either been up a set: Schiavone in Rome, Zahlavova Strycova in Wimbledon, Peer in Stanford or she's had set points: Pavlyuchenkova in Madrid, Pennetta in Montreal and Dementieva at the US Open. So Daniela's been playing well enough to give herself the chance to win but she hasn't taken her chances. If she'd been able to convert some of the opportunities she'd created then this year would be a lot better. Of course, having to play quality opponents right away in a tournament make it harder to put a run together and if Daniela had gotten to the final of the tournaments she played between Stanford and Montreal she'd have played a top 30 opponent every single match.

Daniela's had more top 10 and top 30 wins this year than last year but in recent months she's had the hardest run of draws she's had in her career. I keep feeling that Daniela has to get a decent draw and a bit of luck sometime but at the same time she has to beat the player on the other side of the net and take her opportunities. Daniela beat Kanepi in straight sets in New Haven and Kanepi's having a good run here and she beat a resurgent Safina in straight sets in the first round.

Daniela's down right now but she'll pick herself, dust herself down and be ready to play again. She's shown her resilience and determination so many times in the past, she'll do it again.

I believe she's playing Linz this year,maybe she will recapture some of the old magic there. Daniela does seem to enjoy playing at tournaments where she has had success in the past. However it is not enough to create the opportunities,you do have to take them,and Daniela has wasted far too many of them this season.

BTW did anyone see Pavlyuchenkova play this afternoon? Atrocious is too benign a word. How did she beat Daniela 4 times?
