2 Aces for daniela shes gaining down now 3 - 4

3:5 :/

join the chat:

Daniela bageled her by an ace.


94% of 1st serve in 2nd. thats the difference. Hope shes fine, cos this was very good serving.


Hope she can keep it up! Come on Daniela!

What the heck :/


That 2nd set was excellent and she just repeated the 1st set in the last one :/

Extremely depressing, really Daniela must have been really bad to lose against Hercog on Hardcourt. The only positive thing is that she has now enough time to prepare for a hopefully not too bad indoor season at Linz and Luxembourg.

Sadly this result was to be expected.

Is there any other person here who believe she stop enjoying playing the Tour? I can't see and passion or win desire on her eyes or body... My suspicion is that,like Justine and Jelena beforehand,Etcheberry has simply overtrained her.

This is desperately disappointing in so many ways. Hercog was in terrible form and has really done nothing of note away from clay but Daniela lost to her and it's another match where she had momentum and was in control and then let it slip. Daniela had had a lot of tough openers earlier in the year but this was about as good an opener as she could have hoped for and she didn't take advantage.
Maybe Hercog played really well although her second set stats are appalling. Daniela had 5 BPs in the 1st and 3rd set but didn't win any and Hercog's 2nd serve stats in those sets were strong at 70% and 85%. These are basically the decisive stats for the match.

It does seem like playing against Serbia in the Fed Cup took so much out of her and playing in it injured has really set her back. She played so well in Miami and Charleston but since the Fed Cup her results have generally been pretty modest, Roland Garros and San Diego apart. I just wonder how fit she's really been this year. Daniela has had problems with her back and shoulder for at least the past year. At the same time, if Daniela turns up to play then she feels she's fit enough to compete and most of the players that she's lost to this year have been good players, but Hercog really isn't that good a player. I don't know how I'll feel if she beats Schiavone.

Personally, I think Daniela should spend the off season training in Las Vegas with Darren Cahill and Gil Reyes.
