Hi Again From Belgrade!

2010-04-25
Hi everyone,

I'm writing again from Belgrade! We won our tie with Serbia tonight so we will be in the Fed Cup World Group next year!

I'm extremely happy to be able to bring Slovakia back to the World Group. It was an exhausting weekend with all of the travel delays, jet lag and having very little time to get ready, but I'm very proud of the way I fought through it and gave it all I had on the court. My team made such a great effort to get me ready to play in such a short time because we arrived so late from the US. I also want to thank my doctor, Jean Pierre Meersseman, who helped me stay fit for a long weekend.

Now I can finally relax and enjoy the win with my team!!

I have to say I felt very welcome here in Serbia. We had a really nice time and the atmosphere was great in the arena. Going away with the win made it even more enjoyable, and it was the best birthday present to finish like this.

I will get back to you all from my favorite place in the world - yes, Rome is next for me! Goodnight and thanks again for all of your support over the weekend, and all of those wonderful birthday wishes!!

Oh and please join my Facebook and Twitter pages!

With love,

Dani

Ivan, To prevent getting injured, I make sure I do pre-hab exercises. Pre-hab exercises are used strengthen important muscle groups before any injury occurs.

Hi everybody! I'm very excited to start my Wimbledon tournament today. It's the most wonderful part of the year and being able to play on grass makes it really fun.

The weather has been great to us so we have had some good practice days since Eastbourne and now I'm ready to go.

Of course, I'm also following soccer and watching every match from our team! We were a bit unlucky in the first one to draw against New Zealand, since we got the goal from them in the last minute... but that's sport. We still have a small chance to advance and I'm sure our team will do their best and fight until the end.

I'll get back to you all after my match today, which is scheduled to be not before 5pm.

I hope you all have a great day!

Love from Wimbledon..





Wimbledon Blog: Thursday

Hi everybody!!

I'm very happy with the way I closed it out yesterday in my first round match. It gave me a lot of confidence - now I know I can turn it around when I'm down. I just kept fighting for each point and I played some good tennis to win the third.

It's wonderful being here, and this superb weather makes the tournament even more enjoyable. It was also incredible yesterday to follow that never-ending match on Court 18... all the credit to both players being able to survive that and keep going, not just physically but mentally as well. I can't even imagine how exhausted they both must be...

Let's see if they get to finish today

It's great being able to stay in the Wimbledon Village, so close to the courts and with all the nice restaurants around. It's great seeing all the tennis fans and also the soccer fans watching all the games on the big screens. It's a nice time of year to be able to play tennis and follow the World Cup at the same time! Our team plays today so I hope they do well!

Love to all from Wimbledon,

Dani




Go Slovakia!
2010-06-28

Hey everybody, I was pretty disappointed about the singles loss here but thanks for all of your support Now I'm going to try my best in the doubles!

Here's a picture of me in my national soccer dress, which adidas Slovakia was kind enough to make for me with my name and my lucky number so I can support our boys in Africa even more! I'm sooo proud of what they've achieved... It is a historic tournament for us, the first time they qualified for the World Cup and now being among the 16 best teams... I'm very proud to be wearing this dress around the grounds of Wimbledon. We may be a small country but we have great people and we'll all be behind them today!! I want to congratulate them for what they've achieved so far and wish them luck for today's match. I hope my doubles match won't be the same time as the game!

Love to all from Wimbledon,

Dani

Hello From Stanford!

2010-07-25
Hi everyone!

I arrived yesterday in Stanford, where I'm kicking off the second part of my season - the summer US Open Series, starting with the Bank of the West Classic. It will be a long summer with tournaments here in Stanford, in San Diego, Cincinnati, Montreal... so please keep your fingers crossed for me! I'm very excited to be back in competition again after a little break after Wimbledon. I have worked hard these last weeks to be well prepared for the hardcourt season.

I always enjoy coming back to Stanford, since it's such a cute university city with great atmosphere, nice coffee places and tons of good restaurants to choose from, and it's fun to see so many students around. If I had the time to study, this would definitely be on the top of my list as a choice for university. They have got great facilities for all the sports as well, so it makes you want to work out all day long

I'll talk to you again very soon!!

Love, Daniela

More From San Diego...

2010-08-04

Hello again from the beautiful La Costa resort everyone!

Last night I played a great match against Marion Bartoli. I'm very excited. She was playing really well, especially in the first set, but I was able to raise my game up in the second and third sets. I fought all the way until the end and eventually found a way to win. The crowd was really great last night. They helped me get through it. Thanks to all of you!

Today is just a training and recovery day after the long match last night. I'm getting ready for tomorrow's match too, which again won't be easy. The field in this tournament is very strong so there are no easy matches.

The nicest experience yesterday came with realizing the greatest legend of our sport, Rod Laver, was watching our match last night as well. I can't tell you what an honor and privilege that was! It's something I'll never forget...

With love,

Dani

Off To Cincinnati...

2010-08-08
Hi everyone,

I've had a wonderful week here in San Diego and the La Costa resort. Last night, Agnieszka played very, very well and deserved to win, but overall I'm very happy with my performance here. I played some great matches and fought really hard throughout the whole week. The crowd was fantastic and I don't know what it is, but it seems like playing in this part of the world always brings out the best in me. It's very close to Indian Wells as well... it brings out so many wonderful memories. Must be something in the air I always enjoy coming here!

Thank you for all of your support and have a nice rest of the weekend... Today I'm off to Cincinnati!

Off-Court Fun In Linz!

2010-10-13
Hello everyone! Before my first match at the Generali Ladies Linz here in Linz, I did a lot of fun off-court activities... There are lots of pictures in my photo gallery, and here I'll tell you all a little bit more about these three events!

20th Anniversary Gala...
This year is the 20th anniversary of the Generali Ladies Linz. The tournament organizers, Sandra and Michael Reichel, have done such a fantastic job with this event for so long, and the gala was more proof of that. It was a beautiful evening and it was so great to see so many past champions back in Linz. To share tables with them was really an honor. I have so many good memories from this event, especially from 2007 when I won the title here. I remember I had to win the tournament (which was the last event of the year) to qualify for the WTA Championships in Madrid, so it was even more special.

Sony Ericsson Street Tennis...
It was so much fun to take tennis into the streets of Linz and introduce it to our fans in between shops, cafes and restaurants in the beautiful square downtown. It's a really cute city and being so close to my hometown of Bratislava it feels like I'm almost home. It was incredible the organizers made the court in exactly three minutes, which I never thought could be possible! It was great to play with Patty, since we played the finals here together in 2007, and she has done so much for the game as well. It was a lot of fun and Sony Ericsson did a great job making this entertaining!

Generali Ladies Linz Player Party...
For the player party we dressed up in traditional Austrian dresses and it was a lot of fun since I had never worn one before! At the beginning it felt weird because I'm not used to wearing this kind of clothes, but once again the tournament did such a great job with this evening, for both players and sponsors. It was so much fun.

If you didn't already, please look at all the pictures from these events in the photo gallery!

By the way, I'll be doing a full blog from Bali in a few weeks - and thanks as always for all of your support
