Now that you mention it, I clicked on that link you posted for live streaming and I could only hear a bunch of advertisements. I was hearing some kind of horror movie in the background instead of tennis...

Off-Topic:
sometimes horror and tennis are very close... :roll:

ES player is starting its live coverage tomorrow. Until then I guess there is no way how to watch women.
for a seed I would say just one win is important since it is a difference between 5 points or 80 points. Had she played round 1, I would agree since it would only be between 50 and 80.I am aware of that, I mean that 75 points isn't a sufficient difference to make me so nervous :lol:

, even though Daniela needs every single point now.

...and since my nerves hate following the scoreboard, I am off for a while.

well where Daniela is ranked, 75 points is a lot IMO. So I'm nervous about it.

and I've searched like crazy for live stream all day, and together with a couple of friends, concluded that only ATP is aired today. For such a big tournament, sure is crappy coverage of WTA.

BTW: I love how she earlier was down 0-40, saved the first two bps with aces. Then got broken on bp number 4

But two aces at important times. Is Wickmayer a bad returner?

I just registered on betfair, and that's free and they're not showing Daniela's match.

In fairness, the Federer match is about 5 seconds quicker on betfair than atdhe.

Daniela Hantuchova is right about everything.

I'm paying extra for the Tennis Channel and they're not showing any women's tennis at all. Oh well, maybe Daniela will make it to the finals. :lol:

She lost first set 5-7, I just hope she doesn't have a breakdown.

And she loses the first set 7-5. Unless she wins the next two sets easily, there's no way this can be taken as a positive performance. If she has to win a match something like 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 against Yanina F'n Wickmayer, that's not progress. That's the mediocre Daniela we've seen for a year.

Daniela's beaten Wickmayer in straight sets twice before, this is what she's got to do here. She's serving first and she's been making inroads into the Wickmayer serve pretty much every game, so she's still got a good chance as long as she stays positive and keeps fighting. She has to get more first serves in because when she does she wins the point, but she getting nothing on the second serve.

Wins the first game of the second to love, winning 3/3 on second serve. Daniela would have won the first set easily if her second serve had been like that then.

Daniela Hantuchova is right about everything.

From 30-0 ahead, Daniela lost 4 points in a row and the set...

so many seeds have already fallen. Why can't Daniela have some form. Daniela please win in 3 sets. Please, please, please.

Edit: up a break in the 2nd set. Please hold it. Please please please

nice and fast. Four first serves, four points won and a 4-1 lead. Nicely done Danka. Loving it.

Daniela takes advantage of a double fault to break for a 3-1 lead. That's another frustrating thing about the first set; Wickmayer spotted her four double faults on forty-one service points.
