Nothing more to say, just deeply disappointed.

If that's the case then she should pick and choose less tournaments to enter. Or not play fed cup to give herself more breaks between tournaments. Or not play doubles...seriously she needs to help herself out!

Has Daniela changed coaches again? that wasn't Eduardo advising her today.

On well on reflection it was her first match on clay so we'll just have to see what happens. Maybe her and Eduardo had a falling out..

This was a rough day for me overall, and not helped by this double whammy, counting the doubles withdrawal. Didn't see it, so I'll take your word as to how Dani looked and felt, yet she really didn't seem to just give in. (One thing that is the multi-colored elephant in the room that people deliberately ignore in all women's sports, I would say....was it that time of the month for her....nah, I would never want to stir anything up, so I won't say it ) Mr. Wertham might be right, I fear. Dani could just be bone weary, or as eddy said a couple of weeks ago, in her twilight. Now, she could do a King/Clijsters/Henin/Davenport, call it quits and come back refreshed 6 months later (do I dare bring up that Davenport's first win after coming back from childbirth was at Daniela's expense? Nah, don't accuse me of saying that, either.) I don't see that as being her way of doing things. No matter what, I think we know that her love of the sport remains very high. And, since one of you mentioned how happy she looked at the party, she knows that if she quits, that's about 25 less parties she'll attend each year! I would think that the lifestyle she enjoys will be a factor in how long she decides to keep going. This is what I foresee IMHO (and remember, the H stands for Humble, not Hare-Brained!): Daniela will play this year out, barring injury, as she always has. If it goes well, like bringing Fed Cup back to Slovakia, collecting #500 and/or stunning the world with an out-of-nowhere win like Linz '07 or the first Pattaya one, that would be great. If it's a year like it's been so far, which has to be even more frustrating to Dani than for us, then to me a lot depends on how Daniela-bel develops. With a really good doubles partner like Ai was, Daniela could very well ease her way through several more years playing either no singles or a select few and being part of a winning doubles team. One thing's for certain: However she chooses to move forward, it won't be from any advice I give her!
Now I know I should just ignore certain things, but the haters really went after Dani on her FB page. You may want to check my response as to what my father would advise these imbeciles to do! I conclude that if ignorance truly is bliss, there's a lot of very happy people running around this world!

We know that, but shit has been happening to Daniela for a while. I am hopeful but this kind of results must be very discouraging for her. I really hope she hasn't changed coaches, cause it means she is back to adapting again.

I'll say it again-she looked positively burnt out in Charleston. She basically hasn't stopped since Colombia last December,even when she took a week off she used it to go to Las Vegas and put in some tough training sessions with the Adidas team.

Putting her feet up for a week is the best thing she could do right now.
