Woz beats Kookie 61 62 in just over an hour ..at least that's something. .

Alex what was your secret, unfortunately didn't work this time...:p

Wozniacki beasting Koukalova shows that she's in great form at the moment.

Daniela getting a thrashing from a top player who's in the zone is one thing but I think that Daniela's only had two top 50 wins in the past year and in quite a few of these she's had chances, like against Bouchard at Wimbledon, but hasn't been able to take them. Other times she just hasn't been able to bridge the gap, even if it has only been a few points here and there. Her second serve has been a big achilles heel for her over the past year, especially against anyone with a decent return. Losses to players like Barty, Oprandi, Date-Krumm and Davis haven't helped either. The WTA had a stat last year that Daniela had the 8th best record amongst active players for wins after losing the first set but this year her only comebacks from a set down have been against Voracova and Jaksic.

At the same time Daniela's shown so much resilience throughout her career, she's had so many great wins and shown so much skill, nerve and fight and she can do so again and have great wins and performances. Daniela's 31 and she's still playing while so many great players were retired at Daniela's age. As long as she's enjoying her tennis and can be competitive she can play as long as she likes, she's more than earned the right to do so.

Wozniacki just beat Shelby Rogers 61 60 in 56 mins. Shelby won 4 points in the 2nd set.

Daniela's loss not looking so bad...but also just shows how well Caroline is playing at the moment and also how Daniela's draw was another extremely unlucky one...it's not funny anymore, Cincinnati will probably most likely be no easier but that's Daniela's last chance to pick up points and try and get a seeding for USOpen where she is defending 500pts. This year has sucked big time. Daniela faces being around #60 if she doesn't do well in the next two tournaments.
