I'm definitely pleased with my match today, winning in straight sets. I felt like I was dominating from the first point until the end. It's the first day I really feel like I'm used to the time zone, and I'm not dying in the evening anymore

Tomorrow in the quarterfinals I play Kimiko Date Krumm. It's going to be tough. I watched a bit of her match today and she's playing very solid, it's unbelievable. It's just incredible what she has done at that age. I give her all the credit. I'm looking forward to it a lot - I never thought I'd have a chance to play her. I'm hopeful I'll play well again, but it will be a very tough match.

We kept the tradition tonight and went to the Indian restaurant again! We did look around, but still chose the same place. I am ordering different things every day, though - don't worry, I'm not that superstitious. I think going to the same place is enough! Apart from that, after the match I did some practice, had a massage and just took it easy, really... oh and after dinner I had a hot chocolate, I've been having one every night. I like having something sweet each day

I'm probably going to watch some DVDs for a bit now. Maybe some Friends again... I've seen all of them. I've probably seen all of them a few times, actually. It takes five seconds for me to realize which episode I'm watching. It's that bad.

Have a nice day and talk to you again tomorrow

Daniela

You have such good down the line shots. How did you develop them, or did they come naturally? Tim, UK
Thank you I have to say I'm pretty lucky, because they came naturally to me, both sides. I do like them a lot. It's nice to have them in my game!

Which languages do you speak? Patricia, Germany
My first language is Slovak. I also speak German, which I learnt at school when I was very young (I probably spoke it better back then!) We live close to Austria, so it comes in useful, and whenever I'm in Germany I try to use it. Of course I also speak English. Also Czech, Croatian, Slovenian, but sometimes it's a bit of guessing... I know some Italian. I'd love to learn more in the future.

How has Larry Passos helped you with your tennis? Jo, Philippines
I'm already benefiting from all of the experience he has, especially from working with a No.1. I have so much respect for him. He has helped me believe in myself a lot more, giving me confidence and making sure I work hard every day. He's very professional and knows what he wants to achieve. I see it all more clearly now - I feel like a better player. We started working together in the spring but I've actually known him for a good 10 years. He and Guga used to stay in the same place as us for Roland Garros so I met him then, and when he started travelling on the women's tour I saw him around a lot.

What do you think of Korean culture? Oliver, Canada
I have to say, I'm very impressed. I'm very glad I got this opportunity to explore another culture. They make me feel very welcome - it's probably the same with anyone. They're very Westernized here. People are dressed very nicely, which is one of the first things I notice They have the best shops, they work very hard, they're very organized, always on time... The facilities here are just wonderful.
