Daniela's practising with Hingis today at 12:30 on Court 10 and at 15:30 on Court 3.

Daniela's practising with Hingis again today on Court 7 from 11am to 12:30pm. Hingis is also practising with Parra Santonja later on. We know who to blame if things go wrong.

Sacre Bleu! Daniela is the second match up on the National Bank court after Petkovic/Giorgi, which begins soon after 12 noon Montreal time. Then, after what they call Apres Repos (suitable rest……geez, it's a lot simpler when they play this in Toronto), Dani and Arantxa play in the fourth and last match on Court 9.

1st game Daniela serving and last 15 minutes..Daniela is broken after about 5 gps and 5bps, playing completely into Wozniacki's hands.
0-2 Woziacki holds to 30
Every time Daniela is up in the point she makes an error, most frustrating...and a serious mental block
Wozniacki seriously not missing a ball
0-3 Daniela can't win important points
Wozniacki playing unbelievably
0-4 Wozniacki holds to 15, I can't watch this anymore

now it is 0-5 she should hold her serve...she has it but I don't know what's happening. hoping for a better 2nd set

All you can say about the match is that Caroline played very well and deserved the victory. Her BH was just oozing quality throughout.

Ugh. I was sick yesterday so missed the match and finding out this result has given me a relapse, it'll be a lot worse for Daniela. It seems like so many players have played their very best tennis against Daniela this year and this is the latest example. It seems like the first game which went on so long was critical, if Daniela had won it then things could have been different but she didn't and it seemed to give Wozniacki a surge of confidence which she rode throughout the match.

Thanks for the match report, eddy, it couldn't have been an easy one to do.

Thank you, eddy; that's a worry off my mind. And I certainly believe you about Daniela playing well. Here's how that concerns me: It was reported that she played well against Sharapova earlier in the year. Throughout most of her career, when healthy, Daniela playing well against a top opponent led to a victory or at least a very competitive defeat. In the two matches I'm referring to, her playing well led to defeats by a combined games total of 24-3. Is this how far Daniela's level of good play is behind the good play of the top players? That is an extremely scary thought. Or was it two isolated incidents of Sharapova and Wozniacki happening to be at the very top of their game? I'd rather believe that, but it would be nice for Dani to put it all together the next time she faces one of the best and win, and until then, I'm leery.
