I think theres is no doubt that she has improved over the last few days and despite her blip in the 2nd set against Tanasugarn it sounds like she is playing well. I think though its too much too soon for her to beat a top top player in Jankovic and would be very happy with a battling defeat. There is no pressure on her to do well in this match and thats the philosophy that im going to take into it

This is a match that Daniela can win but she has to put in a really good performance with big serves, powerful accurate groundstrokes and good movement and she has to sustain her performance level. Daniela has to move well and be prepared to hit another shot as Jankovic will get a lot of balls back and it's important that Daniela dictates the rallies and doesn't let Jankovic get a rhthym because long rallies will suit Jankovic. Jankovic generally doesn't hit loads of winners but she puts sustained pressure on her opponents with her consistent groundstrokes and her retrieving. Plus, Jankovic is a very solid player and will punish any errors or bad play from Daniela.
For me, I'm looking for a good performance and if Daniela wins then that's great but if not, then Daniela can take a lot from this tournament and use the momentum and confidence gained here for the rest of the year.

I'm also hoping that the match is going to be on tv or at least that the livestream doesn't go wrong like it did in the third set yesterday. It worked fine for the Querrey match and the Chinese motorcycle cops show but started to get slower and was buffering a lot as Daniela's match went on, so I pressed refresh to try to speed it up a bit and then it went flip-for-mac is no longer working, do you want to restart? :x :x Bloody hell, that and the match was not increasing my peace. Still Daniela won so all's well that ends well. The stream seemed to be working ok when I tried it today, so here's hoping for tomorow.

The motorcycle cops show was fascinating, I was wondering what would happen to any miscreant. Off to a Re-Education Camp, I suppose. "Off to camp for you, you scoundrel. Time to learn." But they just seemed to drive their bikes around.

hmm I don't think Danka's match will be on ES. Only tennis from 09.45 to 11 CET, and Danka will play at 19 pm Beijing time which is 12 here, right?
I am desperately looking for someone with CCTV5 so I can keep these matches forever.

Danielas match begins at 13.00 CET/11.00 GMT, Beijing is 6 hrs ahead of CET/8 hrs ahead of GMT. I'm sure, Eurosport will not show this match. The only possibility is internet (or satelit).

JJ moves well so Danka need to counter attack that somehow... and of course, her serve! She plays crappy when her serve is crappy!
