Not bad at all. Kookie has posted good results at Wimbledon in recent years,so I'll not look beyond her at the moment.

Yeah, I'm just looking for a win! She cannot start too slowly.

Just to note,that as she is in the defending champions half of the draw,Daniela will be starting on the Tuesday.

Oh, and just out of curiosity:

Barbora Zahlavova Strycova [CZE] vs. Magdalena Rybarikova [SVK]
Kristina Pliskova [CZE] vs. Jana Cepelova [SVK]
Klara Zakopalova [CZE] vs. Daniela Hantuchova [SVK]

Doubles draw here too:



1r Hantuchova/Kirilenko (14) vs Irigoyen/Ormaechea
2r Soler Espinose/Suaraz Navarro or Tara Moore/Melanie South
3r Hradecka/Hlavackova (2)

That's a pretty good draw too. Would be nice for a good run in doubles too.

It's a pretty decent draw as Daniela's avoided any of the really top players.

At the same time Zakopalova did beat Daniela the last time they played in Indian Wells last year, although Daniela was sick, and their matches have generally been close. If Daniela's plays like she did in Birmingham and especially if she fights like she did in Birmingham, then she can have a good run here. One good thing about starting on Tuesday is that Daniela can have another day to recuperate and prepare. Bratchikova beat Daniela in Pattaya, although that was as much due to the scheduling and Daniela being nauseous, and Beck is good young player, so neither of them can be overlooked. The likely third round opponents would be Li Na or Halep. Halep's in great form at the moment and beat Daniela in Rome so would be tough while Daniela has a good record against Li Ba and beat her on grass in Eastbourne two years ago. Daniela has to focus on getting past Zakopalova first so we've got to take this one match at a time.

The doubles draw is decent for the first couple of rounds although Hlavackova & Hradecka will be very tough opponets in the third round.
