Daniela's women's doubles is third on Margaret Court after a women's doubles and a men's match.

Pity Daniela could not take any advantage of an injured Serena. And while I much prefer Serena to Ana, it's nice to see the draw being more interesting.

I'm glad Daniela is going strong in doubles!

Yeah, it's 5 wins out of 6 matches this week. Neat. I know you guys on the other side of the pond go through this a lot……so no complaints here about Dani being in 5th matches lasting till 4:00 AM in New York. Keep on rolling, young lady.
Daniela is awaiting a thank you from Ivanovic for softening Serena up!
The slate I just saw on the AO official site says that Daniela's mixed comes after 5 other matches: a wheelchair, 3 juniors, and another mixed. Talk about the latenight sounds of sports!
I found out yesterday that Carlsbad is no more; it was moved to Tokyo, replacing their tourney that they lost to China. That makes what happened there last year to me all that much more special.

So true Chungwit..it's the same old story with Williams..seriously won't miss her AT ALL when she retires...sorry but it's one shenanigan after another.

No punch in the gut here, guys.....Domi just took out Sharapova. Pardon me while I look for Kleenex.

Shazza was gushing errors like a fucked up oil rig whereas Domi was really solid in the rallies.

Mr Shazza just won, so Daniela's doubles will be on soon.

DirecTV has the match. That's fantastic! In games 4-5 1st set, unfortunately, Dani has not been. Her last service game was %#!&*!. At least tonight, I'm able to have the mute button on.
sigh...2-5. I don't like the body language; it looks like Raymond is disgusted. Like she wants to call for a pinch-hitter.
As I'm about to write them off, they get a break back. Then they save 2 set points, got lucky to save a third, pull it out to 4-5. Many of Daniela's serves, particularly 2nd serves, are making me wince.
Lost 1st set, Dani had a break point and room down the line on the backhand, but netted it. Then she winced.
Raymond double faults on break point to give the 2nd a glorious beginning. Then they break back at love.
Dani somehow holds after 3 break points. I swear, you'd think they were about to be double bageled, yet they're in it.
Oddly, against serve Daniela has made a number of really good shots.
Wow, another break! 3-1. Body language not a problem right now. More bounce in Daniela's dances, some fist pumps. Naturally, Russians break right back. Raymond shows flashes of her long-time brilliance, but there are reasons why last year was her first in the last 16 with no doubles titles.
6 straight points for the Russians; 3-3.
Daniela holds. Her first serve is a hot mess. But she finished the game with an exceptional serve. As always, no matter how painful it can be at times, she's hanging in and fighting. It's why we love her!
Raymond's 1st serve has been revolting. This 4-4 game is ridiculous! Dani's made 3 brilliant saves at net. Can I get a witness?! 6 BP's saves and Raymond finally holds after 11 minutes and 5 game points. They were down 0-40. It Don't Come Easy!
5-5, must hold for our gal. Another BP save, 15 out of 19. Daniela's best serve of the match gives them game pt., but they don't convert. Great stuff at net by Raymond for another game point. 6-5, big Dani fist pump! It has become a Daniela doubles Danielathon! I don't know what she'll have left for mixed.
Tiebreak....the last thing I wanted. So far, Daniela has brought her best tennis of the match....up 4-2.
YEAH! Dani was so freakin' good in the tiebreak, she won it for them!
I would tell anybody that I'd stay up all night to watch Daniela play. Right now she's making me prove it!
Tanks have emptied fast. 0-3. 1-3 despite horrid serving by Raymond. Break is badly needed. Had a BP, phooey.
Another Houdini escape down a BP, saved 16 of 21. But it looks like reality is about to set in, 2-5.
Really, if I was rooting for the Russians I'd be boiling mad. They should have clinched this about 20 days ago. 2 match points down. Dani saves one with a smash at net, which she didn't do often enough, too many finesse shots at net.
And it's over.
