Cornet is having a great season so far and I woludny be surprise if she cause upset, not that I dont trust Danka but she's lacking confidence at the moment. Oh well, all the best...


monmon, your avatar is funny! manonood ka ba ng 'for the first time' LOL?

3-5 - Broken at 30-40. Ugh.
4-5 - She breaks back, converting her first BP of the set.
5-5 - She won all three points played on her second serve which is a nice change of pace.
5-6 - Daniela had it 30-30 but lost the game. Here comes must-win game number three.
6-6 - Saved three match points and held on her second game point!
Tiebreak - 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-3, 2-4


Hopefully this win will give Daniela some much needed confidence.

damn what a result

one of her good old three set matches lol

Second seed Daniela Hantuchova earned a dramatic victory here on Wednesday to slip into the quarter-finals of the WTA and ATP tournament.

The 25-year-old Slovakian fought off three match points at the Connecticut Tennis Center before prevailing 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7/4) over Belarusian Olga Govortsova in two hours and 29 minutes.

"I'm so proud with the way I saved those match points," a relieved Hantuchova said. "I need those kind of matches under my belt. It's good for my confidence."

Hantuchova was slow respond to the unexpected danger posed by her powerful opponent, who is ranked 48th in the world. The slender Slovakian fell 3-5 in the ensuing set but battled through.

"I had to dig deep. If I can get through those kind of matches, I can get through anything," added the 12th-ranked Slovakian.

Under the circumstances, this is a great win for Daniela. This is the sort of match she won so often in 2007, so to win a match like this will be a big boost to her confidence, especially as it's been a long time since she's won a three setter. We all know that Daniela's a fighter and someone that's determined and strong and she proved it again. The last time she saved a match point and then won the match, Daniela won the tournament.

In Daniela's last two tournaments, she's gotten revenge against against Ai and Govortsova who'd beaten her in Stanford & LA. It shows that Daniela's level of play and confidence is rising.

Cornet will be a tough opponent, although her best results have all been on clay. She's a solid player so Daniela will have to play well to beat her.

Gluck Daniela
