Leading 5-2*.

Three double faults in 27 service points so far. She had a high number of double faults in her last match as well. I wonder if that is partially by design, to be more aggressive on second serve, as she had serious issues with the second serve at the end of last year. I'm not sure how well that will work long-term but it's good to see her trying some new things to improve her game.

Danka winning 5-0

Win! 6-3 6-0

Well, this is a score danka should impose to low ranked players all the time. Im glad she gave back the bagel she got in Brisbane Dont know if anyone watched this, hope she played decent (she seems to have). Danka also seems to be testing her 2nd serve and risking a bit more (hence the DFs). So Im glad she's working in her shortcomings and its a relieve to see her win a match and even more so with such a score. Do your best against Aga!

I didn't see it but I can only hope that there is something.

She plays Radwanska next. Radwanska came through easily as well.

well Danka and Aga met in Zurich 2007, Aga won. Then they met in Aus Open 2008, Danka won. So we've seen what not to do and what to do. Daniela played well in the QF last year to beat Aga, punished the weak second serves among other things. Hopefully she remembers how to beat Aga.

great just great

i was at her match. she played well. not at her best, but consistent and solid!

match report, pictures and some videos to follow soon. i just have to upload and combine the videos, so that it's a continuous file, and not multiple 10 second clips.

should i post the pictures and videos here, or in the appropriate forum?

In the appropriate forum if possible.
btw. one aussie guy in the CP wrote that Eduardo Nicolas was there with Daniela and Portas during one of her practice sessions. Apparently she still works with him.
