Wow amazing draw but we'll see if she can take advantage.

3rd round is still good in my eyes. But I would love it in so many ways if she beat Safina.
First, beating the world number 2, great confidence boost for DH.
Secondly, of course extra ranking points
Thirdly, keeping Safina away from the number 1 position. I don't want a lot of number 1s this year, and def. not Safina. The Australian Open ruined it for me even though she made the final.

Really good draw when looking at the entry list.

I only saw Voegele once. That was in Fed Cup. She is a talented player, but normally shouldn't be a real problem for Daniela.

As everyone's been saying, this is a really good draw. Voegele's not in Daniela's class and Daniela should win this easily. Voegele hasn't won a main draw match in her career although she did take a set from Pennetta at the US Open but Dulko beat her pretty easily in Hobart and Dulko's the only top player she'd faced this year.

Chakvetadze and Peer have both given Daniela tough matches in the past, but neither of them have been in good recent form although Peer did get to the semi in Pattaya. Both are players that Daniela can beat, especially if she plays like she did against Makarova or in the first set against Cornet, but they've been difficult opponents for Daniela, so it won't be easy.

Whatever Daniela does against Safina is a bonus but Daniela has the winning record and has won the last three matches. Daniela has to get there first and one match at a time.

Daniela's playing with Ai in the doubles. They're seeded 5th and are playing Kops-Jones & Yuhlirova in the first round. They're seeded to meet Peschke & Raymond in the quarters.

Hantuchova vs Chakvetadze? I'd love to see it happen.

peer denied entry to play here

That's just awful for the tournament to deny peer...
