Position as at August 23, 2010

If the situation really is as bad as the Reuters report makes out then she really ought to withdraw-a tennis player cannot afford to mess around with shoulder injuries. It's depressing,but I think this has been an ongoing issue for a while,because her serve looked like it was lacking zip ever since the French Open,and recurrent problems with the shoulder would certainly explain why.

Well... Daniela hasn't pulled out. Hopefully, this means she has recovered. Would hate for her to risk injury again.

Anyway, here's the draw. Tough, as usual, but not completely unkind!

I don't know much about Hercog, except that she's one an upcoming player. Had a look at her recent results and they are not all that great having 4 straight sets losses to Chakvetadze, Cirstea, Minella and Szavay. I'd have full confidence that a FIT Daniela would beat Hercog, but I'm not sure about Daniela's condition at present.

Anyone know what type of player Hercog is?

This is a pretty decent draw. Hercog's recent form has been very modest. Hercog's best results have all been on clay: she got to the Acapulco final this year and took a set from Venus and she beat Safarova at Roland Garros and beat Kleybanova there last year. Hercog hasn't done much on hardcourt and as long as Daniela's fit, she should be able to beat Hercog. However, we don't know how fit Daniela is and that could be decisive.

The important thing is that Daniela's able to get through without further injury and that she doesn't do any damage to her shoulder. Her health is the most important thing.

Cant believe :O this is a really good draw after those horrible ones...

Well, hope Daniela is fit and can take advantage of that!

Daniela playing NB 7.30pm tomorrow (Sunday) on the 2nd biggest court.

There will be streams, but I dont know if there will be streams from the "Moon court", too :/



Kuznetsova is out. Vinci has beaten her.
