Hey guys,

I was at wimbledon today and saw daniela's match on court 6.

Here are some points i'd like to say:

1. Daniela fought brilliantly throughout the match.
2. I noticed that Daniela would not even attempt to retrieve balls that would mean a quick change of direction. I still think that the heel is still a cause for concern although obviously she can play at the moment.
3. In the first set Daniela was extremely angry with herself which I believed helped her get back into the 1st set. I've never seen Daniela so angry! She whacked her bag a few times with her racketduring change of ends. In the 2nd set she calmed down and was never really in trouble.
4. Errors Daniela made was 9 times out of 10 going long rather than in the net. All in all her groundstokes were very good but could penetrate more.
5. One thing that annoyed me was Errani's coach sat behind me and kept talking to Errani in Italian. I hate illegal caoching during matches, i wanted to say something ha ha! As a result Errani kept going to Daniela's backhand and it worked!
6. Finally, Errani was no pushover today, she retreived so many balls! Daniela had to do many overheads - she didn't miss one!

Hope these comments helped. Daniela was so happy when she won, both relief and happiness!

overall I like these 6 points, they make me a bit more optimistic about the next match

im glad she won in two sets, the slow start was kinda expected and normal for someone who didn't play in two and half months. she played better after it and i think it will continue in her next matches aswell.

i also noticed during some points she didn't try to reach them but they were fast indeed, and not's the first time she did that lol, i think that's ok

about the illegal coaching, angel jiminez was just sitting behind daniela aswell, i wouldn't be suprised if he said some things aswell lol.

im glad i saw her on tv again, last time was vs maria during IW.

i think this was a very positive day for her, except the first games

This is from the Wimbledon site....

Rumours of Daniela Hantuchova’s demise were a little premature. The lovely Dani Hani has just broken Sara Errani to love to make it fives in the first set. I’m a fan of her’s – her level of play is awesome but she needs to step up to the next level mentally (in my humble opinion), as testified by her final-set collapse here last year when Serena was on one leg and still beat her.

who came up with that ?

She doesn't like the name Dani

who came up with that ?
It's not exactly new, I believe someone used it already last year during Wimbledon. It sounds weird imo.

Thanks for your post eddy. Really interesting to read an oppinion of someone who was albe to watch the match live.


No great surprises today. Ivanovic must have had a really tough match today. Also next round should be a tough one against Zheng Jie.

well if daniela does not win wimbledon this year, then i guess serena might.

.....but im pretty sure daniela will win it.

that's the spirit. The Wimbledon trophy would look so good with Daniela holding it
