good interview iMO. Thanks for sharing. I like her answers.

You can tell from her interviews she's very intelligent. By the way, how many languages has she mastered already? I think it was seven, or maybe it was fifty.

Funny you ask, i just happened to be reading the latest issue of Tennis magazine and there is an article titled "Speaking in Tongues: The Multilingual Pros of Tennis". It starts out talking about Caroline Wozniacki and the languages she speaks and then it says (sorry i dont have a scanner so i have to type this): "Wozniacki is hardly alone. Player lounges at tournaments can be like international bazaars. Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia speaks Slovak, German, and English as well, some Czech and Croation because of her Slovak, and a little Italian, too. 'I understand Italian but I don't speak it because they make fun of you', she jokes. 'It's the most beautiful language by far. It sounds like singing'." lol i like that last part.

Indian Wells Interview: Daniela Hantuchova - March 16

D. HANTUCHOVA/P. Cetkovska 7-5, 7-5

Q. Is this run right now, is this starting to seem kind of familiar, like in 2002 and two years ago?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: It always feels familiar whenever I come here, but definitely I find I'm fighting the same way and really enjoying my time here on the court once again.
Yeah, again, a good feeling.

Q. It seems like that's kind of your formula the two times you've won here. First round maybe not playing your best but you find a way to get through, and then your tennis gets better and better. Is that what this feels like, as well?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Yeah, definitely. I remember in 2007, the first- and second-round match for me, first round, was very, very tough. I was playing horrible, when I think about it now.
But the main thing was trying to stay positive, and that's what made the difference. Because I always said the conditions here to play are very difficult. The balls are playing quite a lot. It's dry, very hot. It's never easy to play here.
That's why I'm even more proud that I was able to win this tournament.

Q. Tonight seemed kind of tough. You couldn't really shake her. She kept hanging in there.
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Yeah, I mean, she's been having a really good tournament. I was expecting a tough match. I was proud the way I was fighting in the important points. I guess at the end I was just a little bit more brave.

Q. Obviously you have a quick turnaround before your next match against Bammer. Can you talk about what you will try to get ready for the match today?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: To get out of here as soon as possible, I mean from the site. Try to get a massage and a good night's sleep and eat a lot, and tomorrow take it easy in the practice so I have enough energy for the match.

Q. Can you talk a little bit about your history against Bammer. I know you're 2-1.
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: She's a tough player. She really fights hard and never gives up. I think she also likes to play here. I think she made semifinals here. It's going to be for sure a tough match.
I never really like to play left-handed players. There aren't that many on the tour. It's tough to read their serve.
Again, I'm just going to try to play my game and be aggressive, and we'll see.

Q. This is my last question. Have you ever lost in the stadium? I know some of the years when you were out of the tournament you were on the outside courts.
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Well, last year I lost. Last year, and also -- yeah, there are not too many matches I lost there, so I always have a great feeling when I step on that court. I feel like it's a very, very special place for me.

Q. Did you change your coach? Angel Jimenez is not here?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: I stop with Angel a long time ago, five months. Something like that.

Q. Why did you change your coach?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Well, I just felt like I needed some new input, you know, new eyes to see my game, and it's been working pretty well.


Interview from ASAP

Dvadsaťpäťročná Hantuchová prehrala s o štyri roky mladšou Ruskou Čakvetadzeovou v kariére už po štvrtý raz (bilancia 2:4), keď ju tentoraz zradil najmä servis. Hantuchová neustála svoje podanie dovedna päťkrát, jej súperka využil päť zo šiestich brejkových možností.
"Vôbec nemôžem byť spokojná s tým, čo som dnes predviedla. Aj keď súperka na druhej strane zahrala vynikajúco. Snažila som sa nájsť nejaké okno v jej hre, ale išla od začiatku vo výbornom tempe až do konca . Prvý set bol ešte vyrovnaný. V čase, keď sme si navzájom brali podanie, som mala šancu. V druhom sete to už bolo jednoznačné," komentovala Hantuchová. SITA

thanks for the info. Just wish she would find a good coach and stay with him.

I posted this German article from January in the Paris thread and it says that Hogstedt's working with Kohlschreiber and that Panichi was working there as well. It fits with what Patti said.

It makes sense that Hogstedt would work with Kohlschreiber as he'd previously worked with Kiefer and Haas and he'd a relationship with Kohlschrieber before he started working with Daniela. He's still listed as her coach in her WTA bio, so who knows what's really going on. I think martin posted that she'd decide whether to stay with Hogstedt after Miami, so I think we have a decent idea what her choice is going to be. The lack of transparency is a wee bit frustrating though.
Who knows, Hogstedt could be doing two jobs although I can't think offhand of anyone that's coached ATP & WTA players simultaneously, at least not on a fulltime basis on tour, so I think that's unlikely. The important thing is that Daniela has a coach she's happy with and that she trusts and who can improve her game and results.

Last I heard Darren Cahill was still available. Things didn't work out with him and some Swiss guy.

Couldn't translate this text, please In no way can I be satisfied with my performance today, despite my opponent playing very well. I tried to find some weak side in her game, but she played in a good mode from start to finish. First set was competitive, we broke our serves a couple of times, I had a chance at that time. Second set was one-sided.
And this will wind martin up,but she already had a good coach and decided to get rid of him. It won't. I wrote that I didn't mind Daniela leaving Barcelona because I saw improvements in her game. But her last two tournaments left me with doubts. I didn't see those improvements anymore.
