Priceless is more accurate.

I can accept that. But it's still funny to read!

Birmingham & Eastbourne

Hantuchova has also entered the Aegon Classic Birmingham and Aegon International Eastbourne in a bid to make sure she is in top form for Wimbledon.

I haven't seen Danka for a while, but I've booked a ticket for the Monday, to see what it's like. Nottingham is my closest venue, but never cared to check it out when it was just ATP.. Even if Danka isn't playing on Monday, Magda Rybarikova and Aga Radwanska are supposed to be there..

Daniela's not playing on Monday but hopefully you'll get to see some good matches and you could always see her practising.

An FB fan sent a one line lament about Daniela not playing in Stanford. Curiosity piqued, I pulled up the Citi Open site for the tourney in Washington DC the same week. Daniela is entered there. Cool. Maybe I can see her this year after all!

Well, that totally sucks. Get well soon, young lady.
