Hope you're right martin. Daniela behaved really immaturely in that 3rd set yesterday and really left a bad taste in my mouth. When your coach is trying to help you,don't mock him behind his back. I saw that she was quite frustrated, but couldn't notice what she said. I was watching at work, volume turned down.
Lenglen played pretty quickly last year,so lets hope Daniela gets to play there.Not only the last year. It's the fastest court at RG as far as I am aware. There were many complaints about this court in the past.

I saw that she was quite frustrated, but couldn't notice what she said. I was watching at work, volume turned down.It seemed to start during the previous series of games-Daniela got broken with a truly hideous FH UE,then despite winning the next point gave Larry a real mouthful of abuse . She then proceeded to lose the game with some more errors. When Larry came to talk to her she was studiously avoiding eye-contact,and then when he left,rolled her eyes in disdain and mimicked his hand gestures. She also gave the ballboys some grief during her next service game,which she proceeded to lose. Not pretty to watch.

Oh well, Id rather blame it on ultra frustration... It's understandable why she acted as she did,because the slowness of the court was obviously bothering her. However,I believe if she setled down and concentrated on the task at hand,she could have still won the game. She was only a break down,and she broke the Romanian's next service game. Unfortunately,she couldn't hold herself

I didn't see Daniela's rant; Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf were flogging watches at the time.

If Daniela's mocking her coach and having a go at the ballboys, then she'd lost her focus and is distracted and she's not thinking about the game or tactics. Dulgheru would see that and it would have encouraged her.
Daniela was the big favourite to win and she's have expected to win and to see the momentum slip away from her would be frustrating, plus the conditions were the least favourable for her, which would be another irritant. A bit of anger at least shows she cares, but she was distracted and it's a lot harder to win when you're angry and distracted.
Passos is as good a coach as Daniela could get right now but good coaches will be able to handle outbursts from a player and I'm pretty sure Daniela will be able to sort things out with Passos and get ready for Roland Garros and Razzano.

I hope she lets this frustration behind and thinks positively about Paris...

Just saw that; great news for Katie.
Maybe its too late for the organisers to rearrange sections of the draw now, probably because everyone is preparing to play who they were first drawn against and any changes at this stage would probably be unfair on those players concerned. So Daniela will still play Razzano.
