Did Danka destroy Schnyder’s hopes?

The Schnyder’s train engine, coming from Moscow, crashed in Zurich, which is the drivers’ home country, who almost quitted hoping for a spot in Year End Championships. Once in while Daniela Hantuchova, a player who is used to have kicked ass, featured as the destroyer of hopes and dreams. Such an unusual role for Danka. Indeed Daniela, although played well, was up 6-2 5-3 and almost blew it: at 6-5 and had to save a break point! You know, it wouldn't be a Daniela match if she didn't blow a lead.
As of yesterday, Patty Schnyder was quite out of office. She was not being able to vary the spin and pace of her shots. No geometry was on the court, only short balls that Danka ran down easily, hitting flat deep strokes. In the end of the match Patti piled up 35 unforced errors like crazy.
The spot n.8 for Madrid is a bit further away, with advantage to Martina Hingis, currently eighth in the race. It’s a cruel destiny for a player who toiled a lifetime in the shadow of more known Tennis’ Swiss Miss. Now she has to rely on any withdrawal (Clijsters? Petrova?) to take a ticket to Madrid.
