Daniela has a great chance to win this. Ana and Kaia will lose early. I can see Dani beating everyone on the list apart from Peng who is slighlty injured..... If dani plays good she can win her fifth title and get to top 23.

Dream final: Dani V Casey Dellacqua (obviously dani winning though)

Daniela's got a bye in the first round and she plays either Sorana Cirstea or Kai-Chen Chang of Taipei in the second round.

It's definitely going to be tough to make the later rounds here. It'll be interesting to see how well daniela transfers to grass.

This tournament is a very good chance for Daniela to go on a run, keep her momentum and pick up some points to get a better seeding for Wimbledon. I hope that Daniela doesn't burn herself out because she's been playing a lot over the past couple of months. The important thing is that she's fit and ready for Wimbledon and this tournament can serve as a good warm up and get her used to grass after playing a lot on clay.

Cirstea beat Daniela in Luxembourg in 2008 and she got to the third round at Roland Garros, but her performances over the past year or so haven't been great. She did beat Schiavone at Eastbourne last year and also gave Kuznetsova a really close match. Chang's results this year have been pretty average. Daniela should be able to beat either Cirstea or Chang. Looking further ahead there are some potentially tricky players like Jovanovski. As long as Daniela's fit and focused she should do well here.

Jovanovski just lost her 1st round opener so that definitely opens things up for Daniela.
