Women's ranks as of Jan. 21, 2013

Not going to get my hopes up here, not because she's not been playing well, but because of the draw age could get..her results have been awful here since 2010...

While waiting for the draw, I imagine that you already know that Daniela is nominated for the Fed Cup Heart Award again. Vote for her if you already haven't! And while you're at it, are any of you computer-geek enough to show me how to trick the Fed Cup site so I can cast 50,000 votes for her?

Call me crazy (like you don't already!), but Daniela has done enough this year to allow me to give her a puncher's chance against Vika (Doha 2011, leaving The Screamer considering giiving up the sport) (if Dani showed up disguised as Serena Williams, Vika would flee in terror!). But she has to get there, and the combination of 3 straight 1st match flameouts and facing another f$#&%in' qualifier leaves me in a state of high anxiety. Of course, none of us need feel positively as long as Daniela does. Time to break some hexes!

Alex this is what scares you..Dani facing a qualifier in 1st rd well if Dani can still maintain her play like from Fed Cup well I'm ok if she just even the 1st rd..please
this is really a worst draw. she beat Vika before but that's the time Dani was playing good and Vike was not top 1 player..
well just hope Dani do some damage..it is time to have some good result Dani..no more 1st rd lose in IW..

OK, guys, let me know all you know about Stephanie Foretz Gacon, the f&#&#$%ing qualifier Daniela will play. From the WTA site I see she is 31 and has never won a WTA singles title in 15 years as a pro. Rank is #114. Daniela has never played her. It looks like most of her career has been ITF. Shes been in 1 regular tourney this year, in Acapulco, where she won a match then got squashed by Suarez Navarro, who Dani recently beat. I decided to look for signature wins. In 2002 at Charleston, she beat Conchita Martinez and Monica Seles back-to-back, and also Jankovic. She beat Sam Stosur in '04, Anastasia Alphabet twice in '07, and that's pretty much it. At Indian Wells she's 2-4 in the main draw. She did beat Peng in a 1st round match there in '06. Judging by this research, while I'm going through the f$^#^%$ing qualifier phobia right now and well know Daniela can get beat by anyone on the wrong day, if she is in the form she's shown at times this year, this is someone that maybe, just maybe, she can whip. They don't play until Thrursday, so that takes away some from the factor of the qualifier coming in on a roll. Cross fingers, everyone.

Daniela should beat Foretz Gacon easily enough. As Alex said, her best wins have been a few years back and she hasn't done much recently. At the same time, she did come through qualifying and, like any opponent, has to be respected. I've got to like Daniela's chances as long as she's healthy and plays well.

Ever since Shazza came back from her shoulder injury in 2009 and stopped having her dad with her, she's been all right. I just think Daniela's a very magnanimous, charming and understanding person who can get along with anyone.
