But Doha has more points on offer. Silly imo. She should play pattaya then Doha and not play Dubai.

Everyone: Slightly off topic, but it's something I know you'll really like. Go to and click onto Fed Cup BNP Paribas Heart Award. Daniela is a nominee. I'll quote the most pertinent part of the description: "It aims to recognize players who have represented their countries with distinction, Shown exceptional courage on court, and demonstrated outstanding commitment to the team during Fed Cup." How neat is that? It's a crippling blow to the "Mentally Fragile" Society. Dani's on-court heart has kind of been our little secret for a long time. Now, a respected international organization is ready to reward her for it (Evidently, fear is not a factor for her! ) We would do well to help her get this award. Let's stuff the ballot boxes! Let's Go, Daniela!

That is one amazing field for Stuttgart. Daniela will have to be sharp to advance even a round, though this was the point last year where she really began to click. Fingers crossed!
When Dani is idle for awhile, I have to find ways to pass the time. Thinking about how we all have our own ways of dealing with the wild rides she puts us through in what seems like every match, and being of a statistical bent, I dug through the archives and came up with some numbers that I hope will be interesting to you. Of Daniela's 474 career wins (how nice would it be for her to reach 500 this year!), 250 of them have been straight sets. In those 250 wins, there were 88 6-2 sets, 92 of 6-1, and 22 bagels. (In 3 set matches, she has added 16 6-loves, 8 of which have been in the 3rd set of a victory. None of her 772 matches has ever resulted in a double bagel! Something for Dani to shoot for!) There's more I could do, and with more idle time I just might. But what these stats prove is that it's not always the case that Daniela scares the living ^&*$%* out of us Just sometimes!

Read on the tennis forum website that she is playing the Brussels Premier tournament. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks, Eddy. As to the double bagel, that's both for and against, never happened. Kind of out of this world, Huh?

Official, Daniela is on the entry list for Brussels, Seed N°8


No Strasbourg this year

Cibulkova will play with Hantuchova at Roland Garros and Wimbledon
Today, 13:46 SITA
BRATISLAVA - Slovak Dominika Cibulkova and Daniela Hantuchova are present together in doubles in the next two Grand Slam events of Roland Garros in Paris and Wimbledon in London.

It will be a part of preparation for the summer Olympics to be held also on grass courts in the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in the British capital.

"We start the week before Roland Garros, in Brussels. Thus, we have agreed already before Daniela's injury arose. With Madrid or Rome, we not count," said Dominika Cibulkova after his return home from a tournament in Stuttgart.

On clay Porsche Arena was originally played in the first round is against Hantuchova, who recites the start but the problems with the left foot.
