im prinzip simpel. dani musste nicht in einem, sondern sogar in zwei turnieren zuletzt aufgeben (achillessehne) -birmingham - hier kam die verletzung zustande 090604 und hertogenbosch 150604. im einzigen spiel danach, wimbledon - setzte es konsequenterweise und nicht überraschend eine klare 2satz peitsche gegen die dicke serna.
vento ist eine erfahrene hardspielerin 59-64 lifetime, für motivation sollte durch ein halbfinale voriges jahr gesorgt sein - die letzten ergebnisse -36 63 26 petrova, 61 60 sucha usw. geben keinen anlass zur sorge.
angle für mich weiters, dass dani DIE griechische hoffnung für olympia ist - andere tennisspielerinnen haben sie ja keine - und imho am hardplatz NICHT alles geben wird - jedenfalls nichts, was ihren start gefährden könnte. wer die sportbegeisterten griechen kennt, weiss, was ich mein. siehe auch..

Direct acceptance was based on the men's and women's rankings of June 14 with the first 56 places in the men's and women's singles draw based solely on ranking, with a limit of four players per country.
Two places in each singles draw were selected by a commission comprising the International Olympic Committee, National Olympic Committees and the International Tennis Federation (ITF), while six places were selected by the ITF Olympic Committee based on a combination of ranking and geographic diversity.
Fifty-three countries will be represented at the tennis event in Athens, one more than competed in Sydney.
The host nation, Greece, will be represented in all four draws. Their top player, Eleni Daniilidou, ranked 32 on 14 June 2004, will compete in both women's singles and, with Christina Zachariadou, in doubles.
Greece's top male player, Konstantinos Economidis, ranked 252 on at the cut-off date, will compete in men's singles and, with Vasilis Mazarakis, in doubles.
"This is the best field we have had for tennis in the Olympic Games," said ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti.
"Athens will be only the fifth Olympics since tennis returned as a full medal sport in 1988.
It took a few years for the players and the fans to understand what an honour and a privilege it is to compete for your country in the Olympic Games but the response that we have received shows that the Olympics is now one of the most important events in tennis.
"At the same time, tennis has become one of the most important events in the Olympic Games."
Twenty-seven of the top 30 men will compete in the men's singles competition, and 23 of the top 30 women.
