In fact, the first game has just started .

Go Dani and Kev :bounce: :bounce:
Do you watch it on TV Graham?
Haha! Mixed doubles on Court 13 - errmmm, nope! Just saw it on the website scoreboard.
1-0 to us! I'm off to bed soon, so no running commentary here I'm afraid. In fact, I wouldn't mind if they lost. Dani doesn't need this really.
Dani and Kevin got a break, but they broke back
:woohoo: COME ON DANIELA AND KEV!!!!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
4-3 to us now :bounce:
This is a good thing. Dani has no pressure in this competition but can experiment new techniques she can deploy in the singles.

Tracy Austin or Bill MacAtee said that it was Nigel's idea for Daniela to play doubles because it helps her on her net games... :)
Thus underlining my point. However, Nigel's judgement has been called into question recently.. :eek:
Yes, but Dani rarely comes to the net in singles and when she does, she's not very effective, so why bother?
So she can try to be effective in this department at a competitive level.

to get her to get use to the net plays...
Daniela should not deliberately go out there to 'mess around' and attack the net on every point but the best way to improve at the net is being confident of what's behind you and Kevin can inspire her with that belief.
First set to the opposition 6-4.
i agree bracey.. Daniela should use doubles as a 'practise' dont be too hard on herself when she looses because she'll gain from the 'experience'. Daniela seems to enjoy doubles a lot because shes not the only one out there so she isnt lonely.. shes always smiling. but when she looses she takes it real bad.. which she shouldnt do in the first place...
Ideeeeees Danka, Ideeeeees Kevin :bounce:

You can still do it :D
