Dutch #1 Arantxa Rus def. Vesnina 62/64, congrats Aran :)
Krajicek still waiting. The 2nd match on her court is taking forever, 5th set now. Misa vs. Daniilidou is the 4th match.
Krajicek vs. Daniilidou last match on court 10 tomorrow.. Late in the evening/night Dutch time
Krajicek's first opponent: Daniilidou
Eleni is a 28 yo. from Greece. Her current ranking is #88. She plays one handed on both sides and has a tricky game. Eleni has a good backhand slice which she uses alot. She also has good volleys.
'Side note: This year she reached the doubles final of WTA Estoril with Misa :)'
Eleni has 5 WTA singles titles and 2 WTA doubles titles. She ended in the top 100 from 2001 till 2007. Her highest ranking came in 2003 with a career high of #13. From 2008 till 2010 she was ranked outside the top 100, but she's back now with a current rank of #88.
This year she has a W/L of 16-12. She won 2 ITF's (50K's) and reached the 2nd round at Wimbledon and Fes. She qualified for Roland Garros, Monterrey, Fes and Cincinnati. Currently Eleni is on a 2 match losing streak. She lost against Stosur and Stephens in Cincinnati and New Haven
Daniilidou won their only meeting in ITF Midland 2009. That was Misa's first tournament after coming back from injury.
Eleni is the favourite for this match. She has a better year so far, a higher ranking and she leads the H2H. But i have a good feeling about this match up. Misa definetly can win this match!
US Open schedule
No delays at the US Open tomorrow, so Michaella Krajicek will play on Tuesday
Michaella Krajicek plays her match on Tuesday (NY) Possibly even later
The bottom half of the draw starts on Monday which means the top half (with Misa) starts on Tuesday.
Due to the arrival of hurricane Irene it could be very likely that play won't even start on Monday. Misa would play her match on Wednesday then. Will keep you updated on that.
Singles Main Draw
Krajicek vs. Daniilidou (#88) No seed in the first round so this is a good draw. Eleni has a tricky game. She has a good slice and likes to come to the net. If Misa wins, she will play Serena Williams or Bojana Jovanovski
