Now here comes the clay season, her only shot at winning a significant tournament, but it won't happen as long as she plays like this. Her Abu Dhabi form was good enough to beat anyone on clay, except for Iga of course.
She had 2 finals this year already, clay and Charleston would be a good place to win a title, but she needs significant changes.
Be honest, she had only one real final this season with zero chances for the win. These talks about changes have been going around for a year or even more with no real changes. Actually, I don't care of the titles, esp if it would be 250-500 category. I want some big bright sparky matches, when you go and kick out real top player in style. If Noskova, Kalinskaya, even Blinkova, Collins and others can, why Dasha can't? I'm just envious and I miss this feeling.
Does today's victory look like a big splash? Pegula's Top5 scalp is a good one to have I think. Daria heard our prayers.
Anyway the final could be winnable too. Remember the Paolini's victory over exhausted Kalinskaya.
Madrid main draw just dropped and Daria is in the Ryba's quarter. Here is what can be considered as a good win. But of course I was meaning of Iga's and Aryna's scalps. OK, only Aryna's, haha. Call me a dreamer, but I don't think she isn't capable of beating her. Clay is Dasha's native surface, so...
This is just my fan strategy for the pre-top players (WTA 15-25). Matches against regular nonamers isn't worth watching, I think. Star battles matter. I'm not forcing this on anyone, of course.
So in Madrid she could play with Martic, Pavs, Kalinina, all of them are the clayers. Dangerous, but good for growing confidence. Wish Daria good luck.
