6-3 5-7

Credit to Bartoli for winning the 2nd set, hopefully Bartoli's tired and Daniela can get mentally get this back.

4/17 bps taken...just not good enough...there's probably a medical timeout...

think no medical timeout! yesterday they make a heat break after 2nd set! so i think the same today!

OMG!!!! DANIELA!!!!!!!!!! This is soooo wonderful!!!!!! congrats!!!!! but it could have been faster and much easier....
i'm sooo happy for her so now please recover fast and good!!!

btw: a semi final here and daniela will move forward in the rankings! lisicki, wickmayer, goerges and vinci lost in 1st or 2nd round! would be fantastic...

Absolutely superb win by Daniela who showed her skill, fighting spirit and fitness to come through a long match and get another top ten win. It would have been great if she'd been able to finish the match in straight sets as she had the chances to do so but she kept going in the third and took her chances to get the win. This is Daniela's fifth top ten win of 2011 and that's more than in 2008 - 2010 combined and only one less than in 2007. It'll also give her good points to boost her ranking and give her a good seeding for the US Open and she's hardly got anything to defend until Pattaya. What a win, what a woman!

3*-5
3-6

Too bad. I wonder if she should skip New Haven because her second serve today had absolutely nothing on it,which makes me think her shoulder might be playing up again. Hopefully I'm wrong.

It's disappointing that Daniela didn't win this but she'd had a long, tough match yesterday and she'd also played one match more than Zvonareva plus Zvonareva's a very good player.

Daniela's had a good tournament with another top ten win and she's gained a lot of points this week so can take a lot from this tournament.

Nadal had a long match yesterday as well and he lost to Mardy Fish.

"The first set was not to my liking. Too bad I did not lay on the performance of previous matches at this tournament. I felt a little tired from Thursday's 'marathon'. I can not excuse it, but it reflected the fact that I was late Zvonareva at the ball and determined pace. That's what it is against the worst. In the second set already and me managed to get it under pressure, but too late I started to play what I had. Vera has done tactically wise. played very solid, hats off, but from my side it was not such power as in previous rounds. The most important thing was that I had to play faster and more aggressively," said Daniela Hantuchova and SITA said: "Today I did not work out, but overall it was good for me tournament. I am satisfied with those previous matches and that is what I have to take to New Haven and at the U.S. Open."

New Haven draw:

1R: Bartoli
2R: Pennetta (possibly)


Are you kidding me?

"Oh nice," laughed Daniela Hantuchova, she learned the name of the nearest rival, and continued: "First we will enjoy the rest of the week. It will be important to recover well, there were matches in a large heat very difficult. Even his head is far as I New Haven."

I've got to say that at the moment I'm not that bothered about New Haven because Daniela's had a good week here and the US Open the week after is a lot more important.

Eurosport finally got round to showing the final few games and TB. Ye Gods was Daniela ever PISSED at losing that match-understandably so as she would follow a brilliant point with an excruciating unforced error,ending with two BH shanks. I would not like to have been her coach after the game was over.
