Beijing R1: daniela hantuchova def gisela dulko 6-3 6-1

poor dulko :hug:

Daniela :yeah:

Her backhand is on fire today. ;)

WOW!!! What a mature preformance from Daniela! Just back!

:bounce:

Daniela was OK, some moments were really good, but Dulko was crap, really poor tennis, what happened to her?

Nice job Dani! Sad for Gisela though...

dulko something is wrong with you lately.

Danka :dance::yippee:

it's been a while since daniela has had a convincing win, hope she keeps it up :yeah:

shocker

dulko :o

daniela :hearts:

good win!!

Impressive scoreline from Daniela.

Well done Daniela!

Though Gisela is the one player in an even bigger slump than Dani so Im not sure how big this win is :o

Well done Daniela :yeah:
Gisela :hug:

WB, Daniela :hug:

shocker

My thoughts exactly.

Keep it up Daniela :yeah:

Dani, really impressive result !!! :smooch:


Gise :rolleyes:

Well done, Daniela! :yeah:

Look at her 1st and 2nd serve statistics!

congrats Dani :)

Gisela :hug:

Look at her 1st and 2nd serve statistics!
You act like Dulko is some astounding returner. :p

I am hoping this is an indication that Dani is starting to get in gear again. It will still be a real challenge to stay in the top 20 once all those Australian Open points fall off but from then on in I think we will see Dani working her way back up the rankings, providing she stays healthy.

wow dani well done!!

Next up is (probably) the on-fire Katarina. Another R2 loss for Hantu.
Considering she has Semi points to defend in a GS in a few months, i fear this is the beginning of a nasty downward spiral into the top 20's.

Finally a won match Dani :woohoo:

Danka. :)

Dulko was pathetic in 2nd, UE by UE. just tanked, i guess. :o

Finally Daniela!

Daniela :banana:

Any win is welcome at the moment, but just losing 4 games is really great :bounce:

:yeah: This is the old Daniela:)

What some of you may not know is that Dulko is in a slump her self!

What's up with you Gisela? These last "easy" defeats :( :hug:

Well done Daniela, expected win

prepare more for next match danka...it will hard...focus.....

A brighter moment for Daniela and her fans even though it was long ago since Dulko was showing any signs of being a good player. Hope this victory boosts Daniela's confidence.

At least one slumping fave back on track! :D

Easy victory for Dani! :bounce:

Well done Dani :)

I am happy,happy,happy! Finally a good match from Daniela..But i expect that the next opponent will be Srebotnik :sad: very difficult match i expect...But anyway,congrats Dani!

Well done Daniela!

Though Gisela is the one player in an even bigger slump than Dani so Im not sure how big this win is :o


Srebotnik is going to kill her!
