I don't have the guts to watch the score line. Perhaps I will just go on with my bed.

Dementieva eventually breaks through, despite Daniela hanging tough at 0-15, 15-30 and 40-A. Hopefully Daniela can break the Russian's serve straight away and get back in this set. Dementieva's serve is still an issue despite the massive improvements made over the past two years. I really hope this isn't going to be a 6-2 6-2 defeat...

Great point from Daniela to take a 30-15 lead on Dementieva's serve. Its followed by a double-fault from the world number four and now Daniela has two break points...
... Dementieva saves both break points and now has deuce on serve.

A forehand error from Elena gives Daniela her third break point of this game...
... High-quality drop-shot from Dementieva saves the break point and once again its deuce...

A fourth break point for Daniela following several deuces...
... Daniela finally converts an opportunity and gets this second set back on serve, *3-3.

Slow start from Daniela. But then she find her rythm - too late for the first set.
Second set was close. Many chances for Danka, but she didn't take the big points.
All in all a good performance, but not enough against Elena.

Good couple of wins, and a not so unexpected defeat by a top top player, good start to the hard court swing for Daniela and hope she can build on this

This is disappointing right now as Daniela had a slow start and gave Dementieva a double break lead before she got going and the rest of the set was competitive but Dementieva had too big a lead and won the crucial points in the next few games. For the rest of the match Daniela played well, her groundstrokes were good and she dictated a lot of the play and broke back right away when Dementieva broke. Unfortunately, she had a little lapse at the end of the second set and Dementieva took advantage.

A win against one of the top players would give Daniela so much confidence. For a lot of the match Daniela was competitive with Dementieva and was matching her shot for shot but a few points here and there made the difference. Daniela showed that her skill and talent is a match for anyone but she couldn't maintain her top level throughout the match. Daniela can take a lot from this tournament as she beat the defending champion, came from behind to beat a top 20 player and gave one of the top players a good game.

Daniela Hantuchova is right about everything.

Actually this has been a great run considering what happened in the second round:

In other second-round matches Thursday, Agnieszka Radwanska outlasted Daniela Hantuchova 6-4, 6-7 (6-8), 6-1

To come back from a second round loss to make the quarter-final is amazing.

Daniela Hantuchova is right about everything.

Slow start again then fight later, expected scoreline.
