First round
-----------
+ Daniela Hantuchová d. Nuria Llagostera Vives, 6-4 6-2
------------
Second round
------------
+ Daniela Hantuchová d. PATTY SCHNYDER [6], 5-7 6-2 6-4
A great win for Daniela as she had lost to Schnyder four times in a
row dating back to 2003, including heartbreaking losses at both the
Athens Olympics and the US Open 2004. Daniela is doing a much better
job in recent weeks of not losing her nerve.
And it's not as though Schnyder is in a slump, either - she won the
Cincinnati title last month, and was a second-set tiebreak away from
beating Venus Williams at Stanford!
