Daniela's the first match on Court 5, 11 am start.

Daniela's doubles match is 3rd on Court 12 after two men's doubles matches.

"Whether to do one or the other of France, it certainly will be a difficult match again. At Grand Slam tournaments, all fighting, must play hard every ball. It is not even too much about tennis, but rather on militancy - should be put into it all," noted Hantuchova before the 2nd round.

Tridsaťjedenročná Poprad native advocates in their area of ​​Flushing Meadows last year's penetration to the quarterfinals: "Certainly I do not feel increased pressure. It's a new year and a new tournament. Thus far is not refundable, even have fond memories, it was great. After these years, however, really does not discuss such things, absolutely not solving it. "

Already dramatic in the first game, Cornet falls over in the 3rd point, Daniela checks she's ok, then Daniela gets 2 lets chords against her and Cornet breaks

1st Set Daniela serving:

0-1 Cornet breaks to 30
0-2 Cornet holds to 30, Daniela not playing well at all
0-3 Cornet break to 15, massive double fault by Daniela, worst I've ever seen Daniela play...ever
0-4 Cornet holds to 15, Cornet playing very solid
Daniela looks completely lost and flat out there, this is like the Eastbourne vs Davis match...very odd
1-4 Daniela holds saving 3 non-consecutive break points, but she is no where in this match
1-5 Cornet holds to 30 Daniela's returning game is just as bad as her serving..
2-5 Daniela saves a set point and holds, to be honest this could have easily been a 0-6 set, so Daniela's done well to keep this first set alive
3-5 Daniela breaks to 30, two fantastic return winners
3-6 Cornet breaks to 30 on a double fault, Daniela also got a time violation at 30-30 just as Daniela was throwing the ball, thanks very much umpire

At least Daniela played herself into the match, let's hope that she get off to a better start in the 2nd set.

Anyone else notice that the microphones from the other courts are really loud? I think both players are being put off by it

2nd Set Cornet to serve:

0-1 Cornet holds to 15, 2 really easy returns missed by Daniela
1-1 Daniela holds to 30, better serves, got lucky on a mishit though, Cornet is still doing a great job of moving Daniela far out wide, whenever Daniela's in control of a point Cornet scrambles and Daniela misses
1-2 Cornet holds to 15, one bad service game and Daniela will be finished
2-2 Daniela holds to 30, still everything is rushed..
2-3 Cornet holds saving 2 break points, that was the game to win for Daniela, so disappointing Daniela has to hold as Cornet looked quite tired there. Meanwhile Radwanska is close to losing against Peng so Daniela section is getting weaker. But Daniela has to beat Cornet and I just don't see it right now, unless Cornet collapses.
3-3 Daniela holds to 30
3-4 Cornet holds to 0, Cornet really wants this, she is totally pumped, Daniela must hold, simple as that
3-5 Cornet breaks to 0, absolutely awful game from Daniela, just spraying balls everywhere
3-6 Cornet wins the match to 15

Daniela wasn't good enough today, it's as simple as that, Cornet played smart but nothing special. Daniela needs to sort out her error court. She hit 31 errors to only 15 winners.

Nothing really worked today as even when she had 2 breaks at 2-2 Daniela really played badly and gave Cornet the game and effectively the match. We've also seen Daniela start terribly many times this year especially in the US Open series, she must learn to play solid right from the beginning, the first set is so crucial in women's tennis.

Maybe it will be some relief for Daniela to lose those QF points as now hopefully she can fight hard for the rest of the season to try and get back to the top 30 at least.

To be honest Daniela's game is seriously broken at the moment and I'm not sure what it will take for her to get back to how she should be playing. I would have loved to have watched Safarova vs Daniela as they are my two favouirte players but it wasn't to be. Hopefully Safarova can get through to the 3rd round and destroy Cornet.

Meanwhile Radwanska lost to Peng, another opportunity missed for Daniela to have a gone far as Cornet really didn't do anything special today.

It may be that Daniela will call it quits if she doesn't have decent results by the end of this year. She must be thinking about settling down and having a family, relationships are very difficult to maintain on tour I imagine. I would love to see Daniela go out on a high and I hope that she would at least give us fans fair warning like a farewell year or something rather than drop a bombshell on us.

Barring something amazing in the Asian swing, this will be Daniela's first ever season with a losing record. Painful. The match was on DirecTV, but I could only make myself watch one game. It was the first one that Dani won, yet it was so obvious that her level was poor, and the serve so tough to watch until the last 2 points of the game, that I had to go back to the live scores. I don't think the end is imminent yet, but Daniela must be very discouraged that all the work she puts in can't get her back to the level where she can beat anyone ranked in the top 30. I would rather see her not get involved in this silly league in December; a battery recharge is long overdue for her.

Daniela's going to play for Singapore in the International Premier Tennis League in from late November through to mid December. It takes place in Asia between teams from Singapore, Manilla, Mumbai and Dubai.

Well I was certainly in the mood to see Daniela do the ice-bucket challenge after a performance that,to quote Chandler Bing "sullied the good name of Crap."

Eddy,her scheduling has been insane for years so nothing really surprises me in that regard.

All in all a rubbish day at the office...oh well I guess she'll have even more time to work on her game...she shouldn't be too tired as she's not actually played that many matches this summer since WTT lol...
