It was nothing short of that to see Daniela advance to the Semi-final
this year at the Australian Open. It was quite an entertaining match
with her and Anna Ivanovic and you can believe i watched every point.

I could tell Daniela was very disappointed in herself when she walked
off the court and I think it was not at all necessary for her to feel
that way. She played her best, throughout the tournament and in that
match. Anna was just able to deliver the goods when it counted.

Nevertheless Daniela beat Maria Kirilenko, the chic that took out Anna
Chakvetadze, and Agnieszka Radwanska, who has been nick-named the
"giant killer" after her wins over Maria Sharapova at the 2007 US Open
and Svetlana Kuznetsova at the this Australian Open. Daniela has
absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

Daniela is her own worst critic. Daniela CAN beat anyone. I think
her game is top 5. My only wish is that she would believe in herself
as much as I do. I look forward to this year's Pacific Life Open. If
she wins it again, I'll call Indian Wells "Daniela's House."
