Extremely dissapointing loss... really. Daniela should call it for the year. Her body and her mind are not there, regroup and come back stronger in 2011

I couldn't agree more. She just needs to take some time off. Its disappointing as she was playing very well at some points. Her mind doesn't seem to be totally in it these days. Come on,the reason why her mind wasn't there was posted at the start of this thread. It was a decent enough tournament given everything that's gone wrong for her lately.

Well she lost to the even more over the hill Date-Krumm in Japan. You will have to accept that Panichi was extremely important to her,and give her some time to recover.

Bah, this sucks.

I missed the match but it seems like Daniela made errors at crucial times and didn't take her opportunities.

Schnyder's a good guide to how well Daniela's playing because when Daniela's in good form like in 2002, 2005-2007 and Miami, then she beats Schnyder, but when Daniela's off-form like in 2003 & 2004, then Schnyder beats her.

At least Daniela got a couple of wins here. I was actually a bit worried that she might have lost to Bondarenko but Daniela got some wins against fairly decent players.

It really does seem that the Fed Cup tie against Serbia took so much out of Daniela, especially as she pushed herself beyond her physical limits. She was in great form from January through to April with some magnificent wins and performances but since then her form and results have gone down and she's been playing hurt. Events in her personal life haven't helped either.

Playing the street tennis was a mistake as it let Schnyder do some scouting.

Hantuchova after losing to Schnyder did not hide its disappointment. "It was one of our classic games. The important conditions like today was a bit distracted, I did easy mistakes which cost me the match. Servovala Patty very wisely and in its administration, I could not get into the correct rhythm, I always šachovala. I did this time too many errors of backhand, forehand turn was better than in previous matches," said Hantuchova, who is wanted in Linz get further than the quarterfinals. "To the elite Eight is ok, but I had to that I can win the whole tournament. Patty but reaffirmed that it knows me, playing very wisely. It's awkward player. Now I go to Luxembourg and then I want to have minpauzu and relax before the tournament champion in Bali, which is such a bonus for me. This tournament I want to enjoy themselves and want to make any pressure," said Hantuchova.

Please, dont make decisions for her. I think its good Daniela is going to Bali.


Even if she loses it will be a very nice holiday for her! And thats why she wants to go there, I think. There will be very dangerous players all of them.... so I would be satisfied with any win. But the main goal is to rest and have some fun there... in such a nice place, where she clearly is looking forward to go to!
