What's going on with Dominika? She was a double break up against Vesnina in the third set, now it's 3-3.

Edit: 4-3 Vesnina. 5-3.

Yeah, i thought that was rather odd. She had to come from behind in the second set and take it out in a tight tie break and seemed to have all the momentum going into the third, especially since she had a convincing double break. But Vesnina won the next 5 games. I'm not sure what happened.

I suspect there may be an injury or some physical problem, but Dominika's service stats were pretty poor. She got a lot of first serves in but didn't do anything with them: 77% in but won only 35%.



Daniela Hantuchova is right about everything.

Daniela on the Mattek-Sands match: "I was really focused the first set and worked well," Hantuchova said. "Then she went for some flashy shots and made them. But, I'm really happy with the way I'm playing on clay"

Not the best of starts for Daniela, she's broken to 15.

2-0 Wozniacki.

Daniela's off the mark, holds for 1-2.

1-3.

Daniela's broken again: 1-4. Things aren't looking too good for this set as she's not made any inroads into Wozniacki's serve so far. Daniela has to keep fighting and try to get some momentum.

Daniela's only had 3 service games... but i don't think her first serve is having a lot of effect. She's managed to get a relatively high percentage (81%) but she's only managing to win 38% of time. I have a feeling Caroline is playing well... :(

5-1 now. Fast set. No games have gone to duece.

EDIT: At least she managed to hold at 1-5.

This is a crucial game for Daniela, she has to hold and at least make Wozniacki serve for the set.

Daniela holds. Hopefully she can do something against Wozniacki's serve in the next game because she's only won one point against it so far. If Wozniacki does serve the set out, at least Daniela will be serving first in the second.

Edit: First set Wozniacki 6-2. At least Daniela got a couple of points against the serve that game.

It seems like Wozniacki was in the zone at the start of the match and hopefully she cools off a bit. Daniela is a fighter and she'll keep trying and she is serving first. She has to hold first game though.

She lost the first 6-2. She doesn't seem to be making ANY in-roads on Woz's serve. It doesn't bode well for the longevity of this match.

Shit, broken after having a game point. This is going to be difficult for Daniela now but she's come back from bigger deficits to win.

0-2. Daniela has to hold serve here.

I'm not surprised that Wozniacki is wining, but am surprised that Daniela has won all of four return points in five service games. It's not as if Wozniacki is a huge hitter, she's more of a retriever and control artist. So you'd hope Daniela would do better returning than she has.

A hold at the start of the second really could have stemmed the tide of this match. Now she has to told every game to stay in contention and she STILL has barely won a point on Wozniacki's serve. I think i might leave the score board for a while. Might bring some luck to Dani -- lol.

Double break for Wozniacki. Given how much of a struggle that game was, you feel it's decisive. If Daniela had held after all the bps for Wozniacki, it would have been the first bit of adversity Wozniacki's faced and a chance for Daniela to get back into the match. Wozniacki has all the momentum and Daniela is in trouble. It's possible for Daniela to come back from 1 break down but 2 is another matter.

Daniela got to deuce twice but 0-4. First time she's made an impact against the Wozniacki serve, but she's lost two close games. Please hold here.

Holds to love. Daniela's still fighting and she's getting into the match. It's a bit late but it ain't over till it's over.

Daniela saves 2 mps and seals the game with an ace. Now all she has to do is break Wozniacki.
