Can't believe daniela just lost this. Didn't watch the match but it is quite embarrassing on paper.

I guess her form is not good at all at the moment. I fear for the rest of the year, seems injuries are creeping upon her. :oops:

edit: apparently the Spaniard was playing well above her level and Daniela didn't do bad at all. How is she so unlucky?
Anyone who watched the match care to share?

The injury to her left heel did seem to hamper her-she was having real trouble pushing off when stretched wide on her forehand side. The serve and the ball toss is still a real issue.Furthermore,she has got to stop looping those topspin BHs-it's OK if you can move like Nadal,but when your movement is impaired it's going to land you in trouble.

The good news is her FH is still lethal when she has time to prepare.

Her serve is just costing her matched left and right.
I remember when her BH used to be her weapon, whatever happened to that?

Mental composure would have helped too-she seemed unduly agitated out there. When she played her game,the Spaniard had few answers.

This is disappointing. I didn't see the match so I can't really say what happened but from what people are saying and the reports, it seems like Daniela was a bit below par and didn't really take her chances, especially the BPs when she was 4-2 up in the second set.
It's worrying that she seems to be hampered by injuries and they seem to be mounting up while the serve still seems inconsistent.

Dominika's playing well at the moment so I'd favour her against Soler-Espinosa and Daniela should have too much for Dominguez-Lino.



Daniela Hantuchova is right about everything.

Hantuchova has problems with the ankle, Liptak: I believe resumes on Sunday
21.04.2012 16:46:00
Marbella (TASR) - Hantuchova (pictured) had during the match with Solerovou Espinosa problems with the ankle in Saturday night waiting for her examination of magnetic resonance imaging.

"I'm not happy with my performance today. To 50 percent are under the sign ankle injury from which I can not bounce, which is frustrating. For a long exchange I was afraid to lean this way and then it seemed well on the court. My leg on the court do not let what I wanted. I twisted her ankle during training even in the NTC, where courts were soft. I thought it would be better, but after training in Marbella it worse. On Saturday night I am waiting for a magnetic resonance, they will take care of my doctor, physiotherapist and masseur. have no choice other than to hope that they will overnight a miracle. until Sunday to decide whether I can start," she told the TASR Hantuchova, who appreciated the power Soler Espinosa. "Hats off to her performance. played excellent clay tennis great servovala. won deservedly. Skoda second game, in which I state for 4-2 lead in the administration of 40:0."

Slovak captain Matej Liptak Commenting on the initial dvojhier said. "Dominika made ​​a very solid performance. At the beginning it took to get up to speed, but gradually Dominguez Lino read the game and began to develop his aggressive tennis. Confirmed the form of a great tournament in Barcelona from training in Marbella. I believe that on Sunday in a battle against a team of units Soler Espinosa received the second point. Under the power of Daniela greatly signed ankle injury. not be able to play my aggressive tennis and got more under pressure. Yet had a chance if they managed a couple of important moments, began to believe more and more active. But I must admit that Solerová Epinosová made ​​a solid performance. Well served, she could push. I firmly believe that Daniela examination using MRI goes well and that there was no serious injury. We hope that takes on Sunday."

Getting live scores off of some half baked site, one of the few my cell phone takes, and being half asleep, when Dani lost I figured it would attribute it ot rust, or needing a clay match, or the opponent getting jacked up by the crowd and playing over her head. Then I read your posts and her interview. Now I'm quite depressed and fearful. It's one *%^#!$%! injury after the other. So much more my optimism from her recent comments. I guess they were those little fibs that athletes tell the press sometimes. What I'm really afraid of is Daniela, with her Olympic medal dreams, staying around and becoming a shell of herself, making one career nobody after another experience her career thrill with one first round loss after the other. I'm not sure, no matter how badly she wants to for her country, if she should even play tomorrow. Maybe I'm overreacting... Dani has looked like she was on the brink of doom before then pulled off a big win. I'm just very worried about her.



Let's Go, Daniela!

Stuttgart draw is out. Daniela's got Dominika in the first round and then it's the winner of Li Na and Safarova.

One word about the first set - atrocious.

Matjek Liptak is the worst coach I've ever seen. He wasn't encouraging Daniela at all in the first set and just looked so disinterested. He should be sacked. A good coach should help players when they are down and playing terribly.

Daniela is sorting this match out by herself...0-6 3-0 4-0 much better! Rybarikova is giving Daniela fantastic support. 4-0 up to now 4-3 oh help..4-4 this is over..4-5...Daniela hangs on somehow 5-5 and now breaks! 6-5

15-0 30-0 40-0 amazing 40-15 40-30 3rd chance, unbelievable deuce...awful error adv lino, deuce, adv lino, , I wish the crowd would shut up during points..double fault no.4 tiebreak...this isn't daniela's weekend, these courts aree awful too, so many uneven bounces.

2nd set tiebreak 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 error after error 2-3, 3-3, 4-3, 5-3, 5-4, 6-4 comon please YES 0-6 7-6

I have no idea how Daniela won that match! But she did!!!! :beer: :beer: :beer:

I still stand by what I say below...

I will always hate Fed Cup, every time it does more harm than good win or lose. Always directly before an important tournament and knackers out Daniela. And bad experiences e.g vs serbia affect Daniela for weeks to come. It's such a stupid format too with all these different groups, seriously it's such a waste of time. The only reason to play it is to be eligible for the Olympics.

Absolutely crucial hold there by Daniela saving these BPs and then holding.

:wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :wav: :slovakia: :slovakia:
Daniela converts her second MP to win the third set 6-4, Slovakia are back in the World Group.
Amazing effort Daniela, I just hope that this isn't a pyrrhic victory, but Daniela showed so much desire and fighting spirit to get the win. Great effort by Dominika to win her two matches in straight sets.

Hantuchova after winning the third point of satisfaction shone ... "do not even know how I managed to turn this very difficult match. I had problems with ankle and I played with virtually one leg, but I fought to the last ball and it paid off. On Saturday evening at eight I underwent magnetic resonance imaging examination and the last time it was uncertain whether he joined. In the first game I played too cautiously, I was not the balls properly built and flew me to tubs-that way. I tried not to throw away the head and the beginning of the second act I played much more aggressively. I am happy that in Spain we are again after ten years of success. We confirmed that we belong to the Federation Cup World Group," said Hantuchova.
