Oh well, that's the clay season over and Madrid was really the only bright spot. Daniela and Rojer fought back from 3-5 down to 6-5 in the first set but after winning the first point of the tiebreak Hradecka & Cermak went 6-1 up and held off the fight back and then went on to dominate the second set. A run here would have been great but it wasn't to be. I think Daniela was looking past the mixed doubles and focusing more on the grass according to Sven Groenefeld: Today I spend a few hours on court with Daniela Hantuchova who is practicing on the syntactic grass in preparation for her coming tournaments on Grass! |

I guess that is the best attitude. Where is she playing for the grass season? I wish she would play in the Netherlands. It's not a super strong field. |

Daniela said she's playing Birmingham, Hertogenbosch & Wimbledon. |

Good gosh, Daniela's milestones are so friggin' close, and she just can't get them yet. Frustrating as all get out. I'd hope that she hops home to Monte Carlo for a couple of day and just vegges before beginning spending nearly every waking minute practicing on grass. If she isn't able to 2 matches in 3 tourneys on her favorite surface and get that 500th, I might take the bridge! Hey, I graduated! No more Tier! However, I would gladly give my new status to Daniela in an instant. |

This 2nd Round of mixed double was not bad, in fact very tight. Hradecka was constantly dangerous. Daniela made a good match, had some very good shots. There was a funny moment when the physiotherapist came on the court (see details on the pictures thread)

Maybe beating Daniela is some kind of lucky charm?

Daniela got a lot of criticism for losing 5 games in a row to Jankovic yet Jankovic had 3 bagel sets in her next 4 matches, including against Shazza today, even though Shazza ended up winning. |

To be fair,Sharapova basically bagelled herself with 20 unforced errors in 6 games.

Well, I would have liked to see Jelena reach the semis. At least Daniela's loss was not wasted on a mediocre opponent. |

Daniela lost to the winners of the mixed doubles...Hradecka/Cermak |

My god, I'm really starting to believe that beating Daniela creates some sort of lucky spell for the winner. |

For Maria/Vika (otherwise known as Why Bother Winner Faces Serena Slaughter), were all spectators provided with ear plugs!? |

Hradecka got confidence from practising with Daniela in Strasbourg. Having said that Hradecka is one of the best doubles players and it would have been interesting to see what Daniela & Hradecka could have done as a team. It is remarkable how often players that beat Daniela have a great run or have amazing form: Jankovic here, Kanepi won Brussels, Halep got to the Rome semis, Torro-Flor had some good wins in Madrid and even Erakovic beat Cibulkova here. I do wonder how much better Daniela would have done if her shoulder was a bit better or she'd been able to win a tiebreak. |
