From slovak press:

You are yet to defeat a top 20 player this season. Which match you feel the best about?
DH: Best feelings? Hmm, hard to say. This year there haven’t been such match. Maybe the struggle against Wickmayer at Indian Wells, where I saved two matchpoints and turned out the match. There I made some incredible shots, which didn’t happen in other matches.

Your new coach is Thomas Hogstedt. Why did you choose him?
DH: It’s only a trial, we’ll see after Miami if we want to continue. Thomas is a very experienced coach, he’s been on the tour for several years already, he knows players and their needs and most importantly he is an optimist. That’s what I need.

How do you feel about your tennis now? Is it comparable to how it felt before your heel injury?
Surely not. There is still a long way to get that feeling back.

At Indian Wells you reached 3rd round, 2nd round in Miami. Your goal for this season was getting back in the top 10, didn’t you reconsider?
DH: No, but there is a lot of work ahead of me. Currently I think top 10 is very distant, though. It is necessary to close my eyes and work hard.

What can you say about your conqueror from Indian Wells Bammer, who plays at a high level even after giving birth to her daughter?
DH: She played incredibly, she shoot me to pieces. And then she withdrew in the next round. Couldn’t she do that one round earlier? (laughter). I admire her, she doesn’t have as much talent, but compensates for it with hard work and perseverance.

In Miami there is always a lot of off-court activities. How was it this year?
DH: This year I tried to reduce any off-court activities to minimum and focus mainly on tennis. I only made a few photos and was saving energy for matches, but it was for naught anyway.

Another interview where they get their stats wrong, Daniela made the 4th round at IW not 3rd grrr...i'm surprised Daniela didn't correct the interviewer...

Like i've said many times this season, Daniela is not enjoying her tennis right now, she knows that she is a long way off her best tennis, which is encouraging as sometimes in the past Daniela was sometimes complacent.

Hopefully she can turn it around, the match against Makarova in Paris was a very good win it's just a case of whether she can bring it to every match now.

Match of the day

No. 8 Bethanie Mattek-Sands vs. Daniela Hantuchova When: 7 p.m. Where: Stadium court.

Mattek-Sands, the third-ranked American on the WTA Tour at No. 39, survived a three-set match with Marion Bartoli (No. 13 in the world) on Tuesday. Hantuchova is a former top-5 player looking to work her way back up the rankings after a heel stress fracture last season. Hantuchova won the only meeting between the two, in straight sets at the 2006 U.S. Open.

THREE QUESTIONS

Daniela Hantuchova

The 25-year-old Slovakian star, a wild card into the Ponte Vedra Beach tournament, is a former top-5 player on the WTA Tour. She recently made headlines as one of three Tour players to pose for the celebrated Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She will face American Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the second round today.

Tell me about posing for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in the Dominican Republic: "It was an unbelievable honor to get asked, and it was a great experience, a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it. ... It was tough. Every day we had to wake up at 4 in the morning to catch the sunrise, and then sunset in the afternoon, so it was a long day's work. But compared to tennis, it's nothing. There's no physical work involved. So when you hear models complaining what a tough life they have, I think they should join us on the Tour for a few days, and then I think they would see what it really means to work hard."

What do you think of the new venue at Ponte Vedra Beach so far? "It's nice. It's very relaxing. I think the resort is very, very nice, and it's a great way to start working toward the clay-court season. I always like coming out here, because it's so much quieter, so much more relaxing. That's what you need after [the Sony Ericsson Open in] Miami."

You made the doubles final in the Australian Open [with Ai Sugiyama] and lost to Venus and Serena. Do you feel like that's a good way to start off your season? "We had so much fun. It was unbelievable, especially when we played like, I think, eight match points in the quarterfinals against the No. 1 seed. That was probably one of the best doubles matches I've ever played. Obviously, with Sugi, we were having so much fun."

FRANCINE KING/The Times-Union

This is unsurprising news. Hogstedt was working with Kohlschreiber in Monte Carlo and I don't see how a coach can work both WTA and ATP schedules.

so when she said she wanted someone with more experience she has def. gone out and make it happen
