DANIELA NOT PLAYING 1ST ROUND UNTIL WEDNESDAY, STUPID SCHEDULERS!

Slovak tennis player Daniela Hantuchova in the window room casually checked Melbourne chilly climate and a preliminary interview pondelňajšieho sighed: "Now, it seems to have stopped raining, but there are uncomfortable. Quite windy, horrible conditions. This is not the best tennis." By its already 11. senior Australian Open should come on Tuesday: "If the weather permits ... Can not wait for the first Grand Slam tournament of the season - to be finally on their villages and play. I am delighted. Of course, it is immediately concentrated and ready to fight. In recent days I have tried in particular to relax, so I was fresh for the matches. "

Dvadsaťšesťročná Popradská native will face a preliminary Ukrajinke Viktoria Kutuzova, who in 2003 was in the local finals of the competition and girls as 17-year-old featured at the 76th rung in the WTA Tour world rankings. There is about 4 years old and 10 lower-level position. "Even I would not say truly, that 'no name', 'zaprotestovala Hantuchova and added:" Kutuzova in the past have overcome some good hráčok, so it must be careful. I told her to Kim Clijsters, who was in her last U.S. Open first round, the coach has to look at it. "
The owner of a complete collection of Grand Slam trophies will mix with that peer and friend Kim in Melbourne zatrénovala well as with Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova or Nemko Sabine Lisicki. The 2nd appropriate round battle with Hantuchova Bratislava native Jarmila Groth, before delivery notes Gajdosova. With laughter, refused to debate on this subject: "No actor has never previously silent on the next round. It can be very quickly abash. First, we both win the first match."

Hantuchova last week in Sydney to advise Eduardo Nicolas, a coach, which is already accustomed to travel during their "Barcelona" stage. The current situation in the hinterland, said: "Darren Cahill has been with me for the opening tournament of the season in Brisbane, then had the obligation as a co-organizer of a charity event in Adelaide. Now there is a while and was also a few workouts, but since the beginning of the tournament has given particular comment for ESPN. I'm in Melbourne, my coach Eduardo Nicolas, which I do every day. Collaboration with Larry Passos was terminated after last season. "

Winner of three titles from the major professional level Hantuchova year before the Grand Slam of Asia Pacific prebojovala the semifinals, it led the Srbkou Ana Ivanovic 6:0, 2:0: "After arriving in Melbourne, I once again revived the beautiful memories, but also those that I was in that year was terribly close. Even so against Ivanovic, I played so well ... probably the first time in life I felt that it could be in my hands. ... What have Whatever - I have this city very happy going to the same restaurant, I look forward advance here. This is one of the best tournaments of the season, the hotel also. Even I have the same room as it was then. "

Daniela's WTA bio:

Coached by Eduardo Nicolas; also works with Darren Cahill/adidas

So Razzano lost to Makarova, who's been dreadful for quite a while, 2-6 3-6. Top 20 win.
Let me have my little victory here, benji.

And Cibulkova , saved one MP in 2nd set, then wasted 4 MP's of her own to lose from 5-1 up in the third. Stuff of legend.

so daniela will play the first match(11 am) on court 7 No livestream i think

I see the coaching situation remains as farcical as ever. Can someone please explain to me what Larri is supposed to have done wrong?

I think Daniela made the logical approach of "who gave me the better results"... I thought she had a good relationship with Larri, though. But I started to wonder when she brought Eduardo to Luxemburg.

Does he still work for Sanchez Casal?

edit: Eduardo Nicolas is not listed as a coach in Sanchez Casal's website, whereas Angel Gimenez is. So I guess he could be Danka's main coach and not just a support.

I really doubt court 7 is televised. I can't remember ever seeing a match from there plus all the other matches on there are doubles matches, so it looks like it's going to be livescores to follow the match. I know that the schedule was messed up by the rain on Monday, but I'm not too happy about the court, especially considering some of the matches on the show courts. A bigger court would give Daniela more of an advantage and Kutuzova will be comfortable with this sort of court. Daniela should win but the court sucks.

Don't seem to be any livestreams, not surprising given the court.

Shit, broken to go 2-3 down. Daniela's 10/19 on 1st serve, 3/5 on 2nd serve; Kutuzova's 10/13 on 1st serve bit 2/6 on 2nd serve. We could do with her missing some first serves.
