2nd set:

1-0, Daniela & Martina hold from 15-40.
1-1, Vinci/Errrani hold to 40, save a BP.
1-2, Daniela & Martina broken to 30.
1-3, Vinci/Errani hold to 30.
1-4, Daniela & Martina broken to 40, were 40-30 up.
1-5, Vinci holds to 0, serves an ace.
2-5, Daniela holds to 30, served an ace to win the game but also a DF.
3-5, Daniela & Martina comeback from 40-15 down to break Errani.
4-5, Martina holds to 30.
4-6, Vinci serves out to 30, Daniela & Martina saved another MP at 40-15.

The Vinci and Errani matches are going as we hoped, but the WTA Order of play now lists the doubles as the 4th match, not the 3rd, on court 9. So much for two exhausted Italians. Dang it...someone playing favorites here?

How often was Lance Armstrong exhausted? Errani owes so much to Dr Luis Garcia del Moral, "best doctor in Valencia for everything" who was also one of Lance Armstrong's doctors. Isn't it really suspicious that Vinci does absolutely nothing in her 20s but she suddenly starts playing her best tennis ever in her 30s.

Errani's a doper but let's face it, she's far from the only doper in tennis but it's not as if the ITF are doing much about it.

Tom English: Tennis and the anti-doping debate

Let’s consider the case against tennis. In the week of the 2010 Australian Open, the journeyman American player, Wayne Odesnik, was caught trying to bring eight vials of human growth hormone, plus syringes, into the country. Odesnik was banned for two years, later reduced to one year on account of him supposedly becoming a whistleblower for the ITF.

Wayne doesn’t seem to be blowing too many whistles. He was, however, playing at Wimbledon this year.

Odesnik has been linked to a Miami clinic run by Tony Bosch, a supplier of doping products to athletes from different sports including tennis. Odesnik’s name appears in Bosch’s files. There is a separate heading marked “Tennis”. That story first appeared in the Miami Times in January. The newspaper contacted the ITF, the ATP and the WTA, the main governing bodies of the sport, for comment and got back a few lines of mumbo-jumbo which amounted to a refusal to comment on what was the latest glaring indication of a problem in their sport. There have been many such indicators.

Eufemiano Fuentes, the notorious Spanish doping doctor, has said that it wasn’t just cyclists that he treated, it was footballers, boxers and tennis players, too. When a Spanish judge refused to allow Fuentes’ non-cycling clients to be named (or their blood bags to be analysed) Andy Murray called it the greatest cover-up in the history of sport. Murray is not the type of guy who involves himself in controversy when he can avoid it, so what was it about the Fuentes decision that riled him so much?

There’s Bosch, there’s Fuentes and, of course, there is Luis Del Moral, a doctor who figures prominently in cycling’s grim story, a prolific supplier of doping products in that world.

Look up Lance Armstrong or Tyler Hamilton and you will not have to look much further to find Del Moral and his role in their blood transfusions and their systematic taking of EPO.

Del Moral was banned for life by the United States Anti-Doping Agency and yet, in his past, at the TennisVal Academy in Valencia, he worked with Sara Errani, the 2012 French Open finalist, and Dinara Safina, the former world No.1 and three-times Grand Slam finalist. Others who went through TennisVal include world No.4 David Ferrer, the Russian Igor Andreev, the world No.10 Maria Kirilenko, world No.79 Anabel Medina and double Grand Slam champion Marat Safin, Safina’s brother.

Del Moral worked at the Academy for 14 to 15 years, his time there overlapping with his years alongside Armstrong at US Postal.

The ITF said they investigated Del Moral’s assocation with tennis players. “If there’s a case where somebody has breached the rules, it will be publicly reported,” said Miller. “So you can draw what conclusions you like from that.”

In other words, move along, there is nothing to see here.

Hey guys, stop me if you've heard this before...Daniela's got Halep in the 1st round at New Haven. If she pulls that off, it's either Suarez Nuvarro or Vinci. Errani is the #1 seed and is in Dani's half. Well, if she can't beat them with Anabel or Martina's help, maybe she can take care of them both by herself!

What a horrendous draw...oh well Daniela has to make the best of it and just go for it but Halep knows exactly how to beat Daniela. Daniela must stay patient and wait for the openings to go for the winners.
