That's happened so often this year, eddy. How often has someone played great against Daniela when every shot goes on the line or has an incredible angle and they get everything back then they've been terrible in their next match. It's so frustrating.

Much, much better for Daniela, but if she drops this set even if she goes on to win she's relying on Hsieh to beat Vinci which I don't see happening...and then of course for Daniela to beat Hsieh tomo...

omg phenonmenal play from Daniela the last 3 games, blistering...gotta pray now that Daniela can break to win the match in straight sets...go for it Daniela!

Tiebreak, Daniela's lost SO many tiebreaks this year, please just this once let her win this one...after everything she's gone through this year please someone up there above let this one go to Daniela...

I'm so frustrated and upset, why couldn't for once Daniela come through that tiebreak...it's not fair...

And now Wozniacki has held serve, she's saved 5 break points in the final set alone, SO AGGRAVATING

3-3 final set...Daniela must break here you feel...Daniela's return is just so bad...

Daniela smashing winners everywhere but is too inconsistent so loses the games and 3-4 and serving...

Another couple of break points goes begging, Caroline get's away with everything...

Daniela serving to stay in the match...I guess we know what's coming...yep lost 4-6..

Daniela gave it everything...and it part of it was top 10 tennis but she still completely sucks when she has break points.

Wozniacki barely hit a winner the last set and still comes out a winner.

If Hsieh beats Vinci and Daniela beats Hsieh it will go on games difference...

I'm too depressed to do the maths but I think it's not possible...

So upset for Daniela, she should have won that 2nd set tiebreak...and to be honest was the far better player in the 3rd set.

She played so much better today. That's all you can really ask for.

I agree but it's still so upsetting...

Daniela won 2 more points than Wozniacki and lost...
Officially Daniela can't qualify for semis now as Vinci won the first set against Hsieh...and now has beaten Hsieh 61,62, notice same scoreline!

Wozniacki and Vinci get through
Petrova and Pironkova get through from the other group (Kirilenko has withdrawn)

Of course had Daniela been in Kirilenkos group then she might have gotten through
NOTHING goes Daniela's way..

Even if Daniela had won today with that tiebreak she wouldn't have gotten through anyway even with a win against Hsieh tomo due to game difference so I guess that makes it feel a little better.
I dunno I think Daniela against Vinci just took too long to get used to the conditions...

Despite the loss today against Woz some of Daniela's play was the best we've seen since her comeback from injury, she's definitely with the right coach...he was really tearing his hair out though, in today's match. He believes in Daniela and helped her win Indian Wells.

We all had such high hopes for this tournament, the only consolation would be a win tomorrow, I hope she does play the match as an extra few points on her ranking is most welcome, win or lose and is a chance to work on the things that didn't go so well today.

Order Of Play Friday, November 2, 2012

Arena Armeec (from 15.50hrs)
1. Sofia Arvidsson vs. Zheng Jie
2. Nadia Petrova vs. Tsvetana Pironkova (NB 18.15hrs)
3. Hsieh Su-Wei vs. Daniela Hantuchova (NB 20.00hrs)

This is why I'm still a Dani fan, she will fight just as hard against Hsieh, she knows how important the beginning of the season is next year, Gotta love her attitude.

Very well said, Eddy. Daniela is a winner every day in every way. That's why we ride the roller coaster with her. Even after painful losses like today, the good far outweighs the bad.

I knew that was you Alex!

She somehow failed to mention Cincinnati.
