A really good solid win by Daniela, she was good in all aspects of her game: she served well, her groundstrokes were very good and she hit a lot of nice winners. She was focused the entire match, dictated the match and she took all her bp chances. King wasn't that great but Daniela put her away without any problems.

This is Daniela's best run at the US Open since 2002 and the last time she beat King in a slam she got to the semi-final.

Lovely stuff Danka! Her game really seems to gelling nicely,and it's good to see her hitting so many winners-she's averaging over 10 a set at the moment.The field is gaining depth. After all those years when first 3-4 rounds were a walk in the park for top women players 1st weeks of Slams are finally getting interesting. Lisicki's loss isn't such a shock though. She's been injured, struggling with her shoulder and thus serve plus her game is still rather raw and unpredictable.That's my impression too,for the first time this season I feel optimistic about where the womens tour is going. Now it's the top men seeds who stroll through the draw without any real challenges. Daniela's recent wins over Oudin,Wozniak and the Bondarenkos look like increasingly good value.It's just my impression or is Daniela grunting a little louder?I've listened very closely and I don't really notice any difference. She always had an audible exhalation after striking the ball. What was interesting,was against Shaughnessy she was groaning a lot at the start of the 3rd set,when things were tight,and was making very little noise as the set progressed and victory grew closer. Maybe Daniela uses the groan as primarily a stress reliever,as it doesn't seem to have any effect on how powerfully she strikes the ball.

"I am very happy and satisfied. Finally, it was only two sets. Today, I played the first ball to last very concentrated. Well, I moved and I've shown a aggressive, but with a minimum of errors. I have not let King get into the game , nothing like it nedarovala. Any exchange, I played one hundred percent. If I is very likely zvoľnila, everything could be otherwise. "

"I think it was nonetheless súperka 'vyhúkaná' from the environment to which I am accustomed. The villages that I have played several meetings. Clearly it was in my advantage and I exercise a little King or facilitated. Prospered my submission , I had no feeling that I was with him under some pressure. By that I so easily maintain service, I increased the pressure on American women in her administration. "

Hantuchova is already looking forward to eight with Serena Williams. "Our matches with Serena are already classics grandslamoch slowly. I'd finally met already with someone else, because Serena is the Big Four events can always step up to the unbelievable power, rather I played with him in the current tournament. At this year's U.S. Open, I played not well against Serene have nothing to lose and I will try to surprise, " said Hantuchova, claiming that it will be a completely different game than the quarterfinals in 2002. "I am now much more experience. Then I had all this vyhúkaná was my first duel to the poles and everything else I watch, I just did not play tennis. Now it will be something else. "

@ google translation.

They won the doubles!

Having won in straights earlier,Daniela just had to satisfy her craving for 3-set victories!

huge upset
more likely a disgusting resigned performance

My mother once said if you cannot say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Losing to Serena is one thing, surrendering after the first broken game is totally another...
4th round at US Open is a good run for Daniela but it seems that she never believed that
she could defeat Serena or at least put her under pressure - this is unacceptable behaviour
for a professional player.
Anyway, Daniela earned valuable points that will get her closer to top 20 but she
certainly has a lot of work to do if she wants to be competitive against top players.

The Result is tough to take, but I think Daniela didn't play that bad. In the beginning she was very agressively and she hit some great BH angles. Serena was so damn good, she had so much power, she did just everything better than Danka. But IMO Danka didn't play worse than her Pennetta defeat in Cincy. There was nothing to do for Danka today, but I wished the scoreline would have been not that one-sided.
