I imagine it was a load of unforced errors and missed returns by Daniela. Savchuk can't really hurt her.

Well, at least she has one more match to improve it (if she can )

She will have a day off from singles tomorrow anyway to work on anything that she was dissapointed with in todays match. Chan and Peng arent on the OOP so just doubles for the time being

good win.i hope you are right christina

Hantuchova opens tennis title bid in Bali
3 hours ago
NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AFP) — Top seed Daniela Hantuchova launched her quest for a first career WTA title at the Bali Open on Wednesday with a 6-1, 7-5 victory over Ukrainian Olga Savchuk.
The 25-year-old Slovakian, currently ranked 11th in the world, is hoping to go one step further than she did here last year, when she lost in the final to former number one Lindsay Davenport, who was launching her comeback.
Hantuchova won the first set easily against the 121st-ranked Savchuk, but was tested in the second as the underdog mounted a spirited fight in the tropical heat.
Savchuk broke Hantuchova with a passing shot winner for a 4-2 lead, but the Slovakian broke back in the following game, and sealed the victory on her second match point.
"She picked up her level the second set," said Hantuchova. "She was more aggressive on serve and it was tough to break here. I made one mistake and she broke me.
"But I broke right back, I'm pleased for that. I just kept fighting for every point. It was a good test for me, I handled the big points well."
Hantuchova is trying to salvage her 2008 season after suffering a stress fracture in her right heel two months before Wimbledon.
"It's getting there," she said of her conditioning. "I'm working as hard as I can. I understand it's a long way back and it's not 100 percent yet.
"I have to keep going, play a lot of practice sets and hopefully soon I will be back."
Her win on Wednesday was only her fourth since the start of the grass-court season, and comes after a first-round loss at the US Open against German Anna-Lena Groenefeld.
Poland's Marta Domachowska booked a quarter-final place with a win over US veteran Jill Craybas 6-3, 6-7 (5/7), 6-4.

It was a good match for Daniela to get through and Christina made a lot of good points about the match.
In the first set Daniela showed the gulf in class between her and Savchuk and while the second was closer, Daniela showed her fighting spirit to deal with adversity, get the crucial points and win the match.
Daniela played well in the first set and in the second she was able to win in a fight. Both of these will give her confidence as she'll know she's getting back to her best form while also knowing that she can win when not at her best or when the opponent raises her game.
A nice win in the doubles as well. It's good that she's playing doubles because it gives her more matches and more time on court which is what she needs right now.

Sorry folks. My support for Daniela has been a bit lacking of recent I have been really busy and possably will be for awhile. Congrats on the consecutive wins and I wish Daniela the best of luck throuhgout the rest of the tourney Thanks

Daniela will play Yung-Jan Chan in the quarter-finals, who beat number 9 seed Peng Shuai 6-1 7-5.
I think this should be a comfortable match for Daniela, most likely straight sets, although going on the past few months in could turn into a three-set marathon.

I wish I could be optimistic like you. Any player can get in the QF cannot be underestimated by any means.
