It's going to be absolutely crucial that Slovakia wins at least one match tomorrow. Russia have home advantage and Kirilenko and Pavlyuchenkova are both in good form this year so it'll be tough. Daniela always gives her all for Slovakia and has a good record against Kirilenko but Kirilenko's playing very well right now and you always wonder what sorts of tricks she'll resort to. Dominika and Pavlyuchenkova have both won a match each when they've played although Pavlyuchenkova won Monterey earlier this month so she'll be confident. It would be great if Dominika could get Slovakia of to a winning start and for Daniela to back it up.

Yeah, Pomeee, Domi!
6-2 takes 50 minutes? That's our young lady!
Great job getting the break back! On serve in the 2nd. (Apparently I could watch this like you are, eddy, but I'm truly fearful of jinxing her.)
Turning into a Brioschi (similar to Pepto) special, a Danielathon. She clearly had to fight to hold to 3-3.
Breaks to 4-3! While keeping tabs on the match, I'm also working on a custody order in one of my Family Court cases. The Petitioner's first name in this case is Daniel. Showing where my mind's at, I typed in Daniela!
5-3 with an ace! C'mon, Dani! C'mon, Dani! 5-4, gotta put this away!
OMG, 2 match points!!
YES! YES! Shout It Out Loud!! #495!
Gotta calm down, this ain't over yet, but boy, does Dani ever get it done for her country. How about 2 Heart Awards in the same year!

Would be great if Domi can beat Kirilenko tomorrow so Daniela doesn't have to play again and can go to Marrakech a bit fresher. You certainly get the feeling that Russia are going to throw everything at Slovakia tomorrow.

Daniela showed that she is relevant in today's game so hopefully this win will really get her mojo back because in Charleston she looked so unhappy.

A great win and performance by Daniela to get a straight sets win against a form player away from home.
