in a way I hope she does draw Peer again, one for revenge and two there are a lot tougher players in that draw than Peer!

Maybe she can pass a round here but I'm really questionable for it. On her current form, she can only beat Zheng, Oudin, Bondarenko and Errani.

Let's hope she won't draw a Top seed on R1. She deadly needs 1-2 wins before the Open.

Hopefully Daniela can get a reasonable draw because she could do with some wins for points and confidence.

Daniela's beaten pretty much everyone else there but many of the players are in good form right now and Daniela would be the underdog against a lot of the other players.
In a lot of her recent matches Daniela's played well for a set but she hasn't maintained her level throughout the match or she's been unable to adjust when the opponent's raised her level. One thing that she could do with is a battling win as that would give her a lot of confidence and the knowledge that she can come through when the match is tight. I'd take any sort of win though. Zahlavova Strycova apart, Daniela hasn't lost to a bad player recently, but Wickmayer apart, she hasn't beaten a good one either and a lot of the time, it's because Daniela's not maintained her level of play.

Hopefully, Daniela feels fit and confident and that this is where she gets her season back on track.

Having Bartoli is pretty hard, I'd say. Marion has been a consistent top 15 since her wimbly run, plus her return game is amazing, while daniela's serve has been a mess as off late... Round 2 doesn't seem to be certain. However, maybe their H2H will help daniela feel confident

Prove me wrong, danka :)

I think if Daniela can get past Bartoli then she can go on a decent run here.

Daniela's got a good record against Bartoli although it's almost three years since the last match.
Apart from her run in Miami, I wouldn't really say that Bartoli's results this year have been anything special and she's only had 5 top 50 wins this year. Bartoli's a good player who hits with a lot of power but she doesn't move that well, so it's important that Daniela gets the first strike in during the rallies and dictates. The really important thing is that Daniela plays well for more than a set and is able to adjust to any fightbacks or adjustments that Bartoli makes. Bartoli's at the same sort of level of the players that have been beating Daniela recently while Bartoli's generally struggled against the good players this year. How Daniela does will be a good indication of her form and the level of her game.

I haven't been able to comment on Daniela's play for a while because i was travelling around Europe. Seems this hasn't done Daniela any favours!

Daniela's results have been pretty disappointing of late but you'd like to rate he a chance against Bartoli considering the H2H record.

I'll have my fingers crossed, as always.

There are two things Daniela must do in order to win this match-she must get her slice serve out wide to Marion's FH working,because she absolutely destroyed Marion with this in Luxembourg. Also she must play first-strike tennis,and not give Marion the chance to move her about the court.

Hopefully there will be a livestream available for this tournament.

Im sorry, but Im not very optimistic about this 1R :/

Bartoli can bagel Daniela if she keeps playing that see saw again :/


Prove me Im wrong Daniela! I always believe in you.

But maybe its time not be very optimistic as I dont want to be so disappointed again. If Daniela wins, I will be much happier she could do that :)

Sorry for my English
