Off to a good start. Daniela gets a break. up 2 - 0. she is serving.

ANY LIVESTREAMS?

Saved a big break point in that last game to go up 5-4. She's gotta put some pressure on Pavlychunkova's serve. She hasn't been able to so since early in the match.

Gave the match away in the tiebreak. Her tiebreak record of late is concerning. She was so strong in them last year. She played well, but not good enough. Had four set points in the second set and coudn't convert any of them. I don't think she should enter Warsaw, she should focus on going as deep at Roland Garros as possible. There are more points available there.

What a wonderful clay seaon this is turning out to be. She'll probably draw Ivanovic at the French Open.

Expected loss. She lost her focus after FED CUP.

No possitive things to take. Losing to Pavlyuchenkova on clay is rediculous (she lost in Rome to Brianti) + she is 0-3 against her this year.
It will be possitive if she plays a top play but not a player ranked under her.
Well, good luck in RG. Who knows, maybe she will pass the 1st r but i don't think so.

I didn't see the match but I can only say that this is a very frustrating and disappointing loss. To have had all these set points and not taking them hurts. Of course, we don't know how much of a chance Daniela had to win any of these points and Pavlyuchenkova could have played great tennis to save the set points. It's also a bit of a concern that Daniela was beaten fairly easily in the tiebreak and that her recent tiebreak record has been fairly poor when it was so good.

Daniela did have difficult opponents in the first round in Rome and Madrid but she also had chances in both these matches that she didn't take. Maybe if she'd had a better draw in both these tournaments she could have built up some momentum and confidence to go on a run but she had tough opponents in her first match. Also, we don't know how much her back problem is affecting her.

Hopefully, Daniela will get a decent draw at Roland Garros and she can go on a run there.

To me, this is an expected result. I watched their last match and Pavluychenkova played really good. She was very aggressive and that type of player always cause lots of troubles for Daniela. Besides, one of the weakest point in Daniela's game is her percentage of converting BP, set points is usually very low. But I guess it is not gonna change anymore in her entire career. We just have to accept that.

About RG, as someone said, the best we can hope for is 3rd round. But I have a feeling we would have a first-round exit again. Hopefully I am wrong.
