Long, out, long, too long, long, that one's too long, out, long, out, that one's outta here....sheesh, the aim of the game is to hit the ball inside the lines!!

Maybe she should take up baseball, she's good at hitting the ball a long way!

So, an error strewn first set, 4-6, she starts the second set and at 30-40 serves a DF

Broken again, 0-3. At least she seems to have cut out all the long shots and has taken to blasting even the simplest of shots into the net.

Needless to say, the 4-6 2-6 scoreline says that the second set was even worse than the first set. Woz didn't even have to break sweat, she just sat there and waited for Daniela to make a mistake, which nine times out of ten, she did.

Daniela didn't play badly but Wozniacki played extremely solid tennis, only 3 errors...

We might have to agree to disagree on that one Eddy. Apart from a few flashes down the line, the rest of Daniela's game seemed to be errors. Woz didn't have to do much at all to win games.

Frustrating. She is so much better than what she showed today. You know Wozniacki is going to be a wall,but some of those errors were inexcusable.

Main difference was in dose, while I did not really areola to a first service,

What?!!

It's just heartbreaking. I want to give Daniela a hug and a shoulder to cry on.

Absolutely, Chungwit. All of us would.

Short interview with Daniela after the Wozniacki match:

I have become less of a Serena or Williams sisters fan lately because I think of al the women who play tournament after tournament the the Williams's show up at the majors, get the best times and courts. But i have to say Serena, as of late, deserves what she has done. Totally in control and blowing her opponents away. I do agree with Alex that if she wins the US Open maybe she will move on. I felt sorry for Maria today. I don't think anything was going to stop Serena from getting the gold.
