It's gutting that Daniela and Dominika played so well and fought so hard but Slovakia didn't win.
Mauresmo was absolutely immense for France and she won the tie.

I think Daniela can take a lot from this, she had a very good win against Cornet and that was her first top 20 win for more than a year and she played some great tennis against Mauresmo.



Daniela Hantuchova is right about everything.

Such a shame for Slovakia, i personally, and im sure a few people were feeling the same, gave Slovakia little chance in this tie but they were certainly a match for France, but just came up against a resurgent Mauresmo who spear headed the French team. Ah well, not the worst weekend in the world from Daniela's viewpoint considering the impressive win against cornet yesterday

I've been without internet access for the last couple of days so i haven't been able to check up on proceedings. But i have to say... although it's disappointing that slovakia didn't win the tie, daniela can take A LOT of positives from beating alize on clay - particularly because she lost what seems like a really tight first set. It might be a sad overall outcome overall for daniela (having lost the doubles and to mauresmo :S), but in terms of her progress this year.. It's a relatively positive result!

From Fed Cup website:

"Both Cibulkova and Hantuchova beat Cornet because they played the braver game; even their losses to Mauresmo were quality affairs decided by a point here and there. In both singles matches Cibulkova started almost too well for her own good; likewise Hantuchova stuck to guns with tremendous resolve. In fact, the 26-year-old didn’t lose a single point off her second serve during her match against the French veteran."

:shock:

I noticed that in the stats . When I saw them it was like 19/19 or something like that .
Her 2nd serve wasn't awesome but was pretty good indeed .

Mauresmo tried to attack Daniela's 2nd serve in first couple of games with moderate success, gaining a slightly upper hand in rallies but being unable to finish them off. That can be explained by the fact that one-handed bh doesn't make such a dangerous return. Mauresmo then pretty much gave up on any return attacks making contact with the ball like 1,5 - 2 meters behind the baseline, allowing Daniela to have such stats (even though I find it difficult to believe they are true).
