-You are right. Daniela had her chance but then Serene was too smart,
played her tactics well, took advantage of her opponent's mental
frailty and succeeded. I wasn't happy with the results coz I expected
for Daniela to have at least noticed her opponents' gamesmanship and
then be focused with her end only. Oh well,hope she learned a lot
from this match, like Venus had after losing to Steffi in Wimbledon a
few years ago.
