Grass is her favorite court so let's see.

Daniela's the third match on Court 1, not before 1:30 pm. Play starts at 11 am.

This was a triumph of the heart and the spirit, guys! 3-6 6-3 6-1!
A good old fashioned Danielathon, 2 hr.10 min. plus. There's not a stat that I would cite as a key to the victory. In fact, the stats for both players suck. This was all about perseverance, heart and guts. Robson was up a set and a break at 1-2. At that point, Daniela had dropped serve thrice, and during the next game fell to 1-12 on break points converted. But she did break on what I think was her 4th chance that game. And that's when it all changed. Dani won 11 of the final 13 games, didn't lose serve again, and won all the big points, including 5-7 break chances.
It's her best win in a long, long time, even if Robson is ranked in the 320's. I believe it's her first comeback win this season. Daniela just refuses to give up on herself. Makes my heart swell.
Barty won easily. I get you're worry about her, eddy, but if memory serves correctly, Daniela has never beaten Aga's sister, so it's all good to me.

Hey Alex

Daniela beat Ursula many times before 2012 but lost several times to her since then.

However I think Daniela would have faired better against Ursula on grass than Barty.

But Barty is who Daniela will play so I hope that Daniela can play her best.

I expect a straight sets loss tomorrow but weather isn't looking good...so maybe Daniela can use the inevitable delays to her advantage and regroup if she's losing.

Daniela beat Ursula many times before 2012 but lost several times to her since then.

Yeah, I should have looked that up. But the losses in recent years really galled me more than most, so that's what was stuck in my head.

And Billy Barty might mop up the court with Dani tomorrow. But as opposed to the first few months this year, we can carry slivers of hope for Daniela's matches.

This is depressing. Daniela was competitive up to 3-3 and when she lost the seventh game she fell away completely before retiring. The way Daniela collapsed and then retired indicates that something wasn't right with her. Hopefully she's okay and this is just a precaution and it's not anything serious.

If she has any sprains or niggles then this tournament is absolutely not worth exacerbating anything for. I also wonder how much her comeback yesterday took out of her as that was only her second three setter this year so there could also have been a bit of a let down. At the same time Barty's also in form this tournament as she had a strong win against Radwanska yesterday.
I know that Daniela will be playing in Mallorca in a couple of weeks and then she'll probably have to qualify for Wimbledon so she'll want to be fit for these.
