They're playing pretty well, though not recently of course. Ai has actually made more of the costly errors that Daniela s known for.
I also cannot stress how awful the commentary is here. Al Trautwig and Luke Jensen are microanalyzing this match like crazy. Every time a player makes two bad shots in a row, it's all "Daniela has left the court, checked out, etc." Then that player hits a good shot the next point and they're made to look like fools.

If you have DirecTV, you can see the match on channel 706.

Balls to this.

Ugh. They had GP at 4-3 and Ai blew it with two errors and a double fault.

And they lose 6-4. Frustrating match as they were up a break in both sets they lost but couldn't put it away. It was more good play from the Chinese than bad play from Hantuyama, but a tough loss nonetheless. I was screaming *@!% and various other less than complementary comments at Ai during that game, 2 double faults, I ask you. I wasn't too happy when Ai ran to the centre of the court to give Zheng the space to hit a winner up the line at the end either. If Hantuyama had gone 5-3 up and they had a game point to do so, then I'm sure they'd have won but it wasn't to be. Still, you win as a team, you lose as a team.

Yan played very well and she won a lot of points with volleys at the net, especially poaching on cross court exchanges, she kept on popping up like a malevolent jack in the box.

Another thing that pissed me of was the incessant chanting of these Chinese fans at the start of every game. They really got on my tits.

I need some chill pills.
