Many Walkovers or Retirements today... What's going on?!

Of course....unlike yesterday, the 3 matches ahead of Daniela's zoomed by. Best of luck, Dani and Mrs. Ovechkin to be!

A good win in the doubles. Daniela & Maria raced through the first set and they withstood a fight back from Irigoyen & Ormarechea in the second and came back from a break down and saved 3 BPs at 4-3. They served the match out comfortably enough to 15.

So many players have had problems with the courts and with how slippy they've been and Daniela just didn't seem comfortable with the court last night, especially as her ankle would be a concern for her. It was just another thing along with all the waiting around and the late change of court that bothered her. Zakopalova slipped a few times but she still played well while Daniela was sub-par and I wonder how much she was concerned about getting injured.

Daniela won the mixed doubles at the US Open with Bhupathi so it would be great if they could do it at Wimbledon.

One of the craziest days in Wimbledon history. You can only tip your hat to Stakhovsky,whose tennis was beyond belief.

Actually the courts are playing very slickly-Stakhovsky was able to defeat Roger with pure S/V tennis. Are you still going to Wimbledon tomorrow eddy?

Nothing in the Slovak media from Daniela, eddy. Normally there's something from SITA or TASR, the Slovak news agencies, if she wins or if a Slovakian wins, but it's pretty rare if there's a loss. There was some stuff from Cibulkova because she won yesterday but there tends not to be any interviews if a Slovakian loses. Daniela's match was late and I'm not sure she felt like talking about things.

Have a good time at Wimbledon tomorrow, eddy, there's no Daniela but there are still a lot of good matches and you might get to see her around the grounds or practising.

Incredible number of upsets and injuries today .
