Also the probable 8 seeds going into the US Open that Daniela would face if she doesn't get her ranking up to the top 24 will be:

1 Serena
2 Wozniacki
3 Jankovic
4 Venus
5 Clijsters
6 Stosur
7 Schiavone
8 Dementieva

And you can just bank on Daniela getting a Williams sister or Clijsters R3 draw from that lot.

So far with the exception of San Diego, since Roland Garros it's been pretty depressing...but we'll stick by Daniela come what may and just pray that for once she can have a slightly easier draw sometime, I mean is that too much to ask? Or are there just too many better players out there these days?

The thing is, watching some of the matches this week in Cincy, Daniela really is not that far away from the top 20 standard wise. She needs a better serve, I really think that's all it is...

No. 15 seed Flavia Pennetta drew former No. 5 Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia; Hantuchova was on the practice courts seemingly all day yesterday, preparing for that one.

Seems like danielas playing doubles with Wozniacki tomorrow...



no singles yet


Hope she wont get tired after the doubles...

Sharapova out!


Pity that Daniela is not in Safarovas place... Safarova was to play Sharapova in 1R... By whom Sharapova will be replaced in draw?

Yeh... much better draw it would be! Safarova is lucky :/

Like I said, there are streams since 1R... so theres a chance to see Danielas match, but it must be on center, I guess :/

New Haven doesnt affect US open seeds?

Bah, Wozniacki broken to deuce for the second time, 2-3.

Breaks back 3-3.

4-3. Hurrah.

I know that Wozniacki had a double fault in her last service game, but with the first to ad scoring system in doubles, then one point makes a lot more difference and Daniela & Caroline could have won the first set already if a couple of points had been different.

Yaah, Daniela & Caroline break to deuce, 5-3.

First set 6-3, way hey.


2nd set

0-1

1-1, held to deuce.
