Initial reports from twitter is that Daniela has Marina Erakovic in the first round. I don't have any further details about who Daniela would have latter on.

Edit: Stosur in round 2. I can't believe how unlucky Daniela has been with her draws recently always getting top 10ers as early as she can in the draw.

Daniela should be able to beat Erakovic easily enough although Erakovic beat her in Quebec City in 2011 (although Daniela was hampered by her foot injury) and she won Memphis last month so she's got to be respected.

Stosur will be really tough and although she's got a good record against Daniela most of the matches have been close, usually decided by tiebreaks or in three sets so it's not like Stosur thrashed Daniela. That will probably come down to a few points here and there so it'll be crucial that Daniela takes her chances. However, she's got to get past Erakovic first so she has to focus on that.

It's Green Grass (er, clay) and High Tides Forever! Sure, Daniela could lose early here. What I'll say, though, is that in checking the entry list a few days ago, I saw 4 people that I hoped she didn't draw for the 1st or 2nd round. Erakovic and Stosur were not among those 4, so it's all good from my perspective. Of her 8 tourneys played this year (including Fed Cup), Dani is 6-2 in her first match, not bad at all. She's faced Erakovic twice, both 2 years ago, and split. Dani wasn't just troubled by injury in the loss at Quebec City, but also in the win at Wimbledon, which was just days after she pulled her abdominal when she was kicking Kvitova's butt in the Eastbourne semi, and the win was easy (3 & 1). To the best of our knowledge, Daniela is more healthy so far this year than since the morning of that Eastbourne semi. So if she can crush Erakovic once and lose a close one to her while clearly hurting, hmmmm, I say Baby, You'd Better Believe!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Daniela & Anabel play Andrea Hlavackova & Liezel Huber in the first round of the doubles so that will be a difficult match. The winner plays Chan/Govortsova or Dekmeijere/Malek in the second round.

I think Huber gets partners because she's good at doubles, it's probably not because of her personality. Hlavackova seems like a nice person so I think she can deal with Huber for a match.

Not a great draw. Daniela challenged Sam but always came up short. Don't know how that match up is going to look like now.

Daniela already looks so fed up 2-2, she's not going to win this with that attitude..snap out of your bad mood daniela!

1-0
2-0
2-1
2-2

3-3 good hold from 0-30 down, she still looks as though the world is against her...her serve looks really weak..
3-4 daniela's clearly not enjoying her tennis at the moment..
4-4
4-5 Daniela's returning is shite
5-5 saved set point, it's just all in all really average tennis
5-6 Daniela had two non-consecutive break points...urgh same old story..
6-6
6-7(2) just miserable all round..

It's really hard to support someone who is simply miserable all the time..

1-2 set and a break down, it's just been hurrendous...it's like she's chilling out on the beach, no fight, no excitement just rubbish..
