Potential cure...Daniela and Sam play tomorrow on Court 3. Three matches precede them (2 WTA singles and a doubles), with play beginning soon after 11AM. The pairing is intriguing. Since we find that Dani has changed coaches again, I suppose Vegas and London can create wagering on what will change first, coach or doubles partner!

Hey, eddy. What did Navratilova say is Daniela's biggest problem right now? Did she leave you with any hope that there could still be good days ahead?

Daniela & Sam won 6-0 6-4 in doubles. The first set was total domination and while the second was closer Daniela and Sam won it easily enough.

Next up is Mattek-Sands & Safarova who won their match 6-4 6-3 and that will be a good test of the level that Daniela and Sam can get to as a team.

A good win in doubles. Hope they play Roland Garros together.

Hope I'll get to see her play at least tomorrow (Thursday)

McHale beat Errani 6-4 6-4 today so I'm not sure what that says about Daniela's recent results.

Now there's a match that I wish both could have lost.

Daniela & Sam lost 6-3 7-6 to Mattek-Sands & Safarova. They were 2-1 up in the first set but lost four games in a row to go down 5-2. The second set was closer with three breaks each, Daniela & Sam were 5-4 up on serve, were 6-5 down but broke back to go to the tiebreak but Mattek-Sands and Safarova dominated that winning it 7-1.

I don't know if this is a one-and-done deal with Stosur but this could be a good partnership and it would be nice to see what could happen, especially if Karin Knapp's playing with Vinci. It would be great if Daniela could play with someone for more than a handful of tournaments and let a partnership develop. I don't know if she'll play doubles in Strasbourg and if she does, it's likely to be a random pairing but it's likely she'll play Roland Garros with either Knapp or Stosur because Daniela normally plays with someone she's partnered before in the slams.

It's a shame that you didn't get to see Daniela win, eddy, but you like Lucie Safarova. Hopefully you enjoy the rest of the day and see a lot of good tennis and all the players you want to see.

Serena withdrew so Mchale's into the quarter-final so it shows what could have happened if Daniela had beaten Errani.

Daniela has withdrawn from Strasbourg so she'll be going into Roland Garros with precisely ZERO outdoor clay wins.

Hope she just wants to practice and she's not injured.
