Oh yeah, that was an injury too btw. She gets injured in long matches all the time and it's because she doesn't run very fast but puts allot of effort into her movement. It's always been the case, if she just walked a bit faster when let's say on practice court I feel it would just stop, but alas it is not to be.
There was no injury, just a lack of confidence and the weight loss problem etc. No need to talk about it further, it's just that when you say Harkleroad I always recall that match.
Is Daniela really playing? And Puig, who is that? I weren't following tennis that much between 2010-2014 and now see there are some seriously big holes in my tennis knowledge. Way too many new players...
powerful rising star with really nice personality off court but she beat daniela last year on clay 6:0 4:6 6:0...that´s why i´m angry with the draw, this was probably the worst possible variant
Look Puig is tough, she hits the ball hard and can flatten the ball better than Hantuchova. Other than that, her game is very similar to a Serena or Venus type player and she always goes for the angles, it shouldn't be toohard to beat that with Daniela playing the way she is now. However, it's not like Daniela is doing herself any favours playing with even a slight injury. :lol:
WOW !!!!!!!!
I can't believe she survived this marathon! And even gave an interview on court after the match!
So so so proud of her !!!
Saving 4 MP's !!!
In the 2nd one, the 1st on Monica's serve, she was quite lucky. Monica was expecting the return to go out but the ball simply landed in.
What a performance!
Thank God she has an off day tomorrow (today, actually). She'll have plenty of time to rest.
could you recognize that coach from barcelona?? i believe he is spanish a coached daniela few years back, maybe she changed her coach again didn´t watch the whole match, so i couldn´t see if laffnie de jager was there, only saw a guy in a cap next to spaniard but don´t know if that was him, stream was pretty bad...
are you kidding me?? she won that match 7:6 3:6 7:5
don´t even know who is next, daniela need to rest... i think i never saw her that slow in a match but she fought well, being down 3:5 in the third, 4:5 0:40 on return
