Decade and one baby later she is again in the winning mode.

 

“I am feeling so bad when I am not with my daughter. She is two years old now and I miss her so much. However since I have to be absent from home I am trying to give mu best to spend that time by making something. I will feel even worst to leave her for few days and been unsuccessful. I am missing so many tournaments due to my maternity duties and my only chance to earn some points for the rankings is at the World and European Championships. Otherwise I will slip from the list. It will be even harder with the new rankings system.”

 

To reach the round of 16 Daniela needed to beat LIU Jia of Austria.
