Any word on her coaching situation? Is she back with Sanchez-Casal? I thought she liked Larri as her coach...

I don't agree with you. She played very well this match. Ok not at the beggining 0-4 but after that it was good. She hit 5 or 6 times the ball without making the fault with her high risked game. Peer was simply amazing yesterday.

For the rest, it's okay the whole season was very disappointing. She will do better next year

"Shahar certainly played much better than I can bear in mind it. I have long seen it, but those of its results, which stood in the autumn, many suggest. Even today, has done very solid and I certainly did not play as yesterday or the day before yesterday. If I repeated the exercise on the opening lap, I think it would be clear again in my favor. ... Did I damage started, but then I caught the end enough. Gradually I was becoming a better and almost like the game approached, but ultimately it was too late. The tie-break was decided a few balls, "said Daniela Hantuchova for SITA and added an explanation of his absence coach: Larry Passos this week could not, represent him coach of Spain Eduardo Nicolas, with whom I once traveled and was with me even two years ago in triumph in Indian Wells and Linz. "

Winner of free cards to communicate in Bali early next week, as the SITA confirmed tournament director Kevin Livesey. Hantuchova, regardless of whether they finally march, nezberá in the coming weeks to train with Justine Henin, as was communicated to De Standaard Belgičankin Argentine coach Carlos Rodriguez: "I learned it through the media. I am absolutely with nehovorila and not in contact. I am therefore quite surprised that it held for me. It is true that, get used to train in the same place in Orlando. I assume therefore that he is mentioned in general terms as one of the options for the winter, and it is poorly understood. The only thing I Now that the period after the Bali mind is relaxing. Finally, I am waiting for vacation, certainly not training. "

Thanks for the info

"Slovakian tennis player Daniel Hantuchova offered organizers of the November tournament champions on the Indonesian island of Bali, a free card. Zverenka Brazilian coach Larriho Passos weight but whether it will use, after a long and difficult season would in fact have little Council leisure. Hantuchova has two days of reflection. "I have to decide by Monday whether or not to accept it. For I have great memories of Bali, two years ago, I was there in the finals, the semifinals last year. There is a beautiful environment, but the season was a very very long and personally I would prefer to play the real Masters in Doha. Indonesia is also very far away and I begin to think to leave. We'll see how to finally decide, does not know. It's 50:50, "said Hantuchova after losing 2: 6, 6:7 (4) with Israeli Shahar Pe'er in the WTA tournament quarter-finals in Luxembourg. "


"Hantuchova evaluate the entire season as a solid and well in 2010, wants to continue cooperation with the Brazilian coach Passos. "I reached a number of good results, some could be even better. It is to forget and no longer need to concentrate on next season because of a moment here there in January is a lot of things from which I take lessons.'s passed all too quickly. The level is quite different from today's tennis as a few years ago, physically and mentally it's extremely difficult and toys that are already at the end of the season really full teeth. That is why the húfne tend to withdraw from the tournament, we have also been svedkami'naposledy in Moscow. With coach Passos, we agreed to co-operation by the end of the season, but I believe we agree on the extension. I would like to continue coach under his leadership, "zakončila Hantuchova, which this year's singles semifinals at the maximum clay tournament in Warsaw. "

Peer gave Lisicki a really tough match and only lost in a third set tiebreak so she's been in decent form this week while Bacsinszky beat Wickmayer so there were just a lot of upsets this week.

I wouldn't say that Daniela's lost to a really bad player this year. The only times she lost to someone outside the top 100, Dulgheru and Date Krumm won the tournament while pretty much everyone else that beat her is currently in the top 20 or was ranked there at the time and almost everyone was in good form at the time. At the same time, she hasn't had too many good wins with her only top 10 win being against Zvonereva in Cincinnati. A recent tournament that got away was Tokyo as she was up a break in the third set against Radwanska and had the momentum but let it slip and that was a great chance to go on a run as I'm sure she'd have beaten Petkovic and Rybarikova. Daniela was also desperately unlucky against Petrova the next week in Beijing with that net cord going against her at deuce at 5-5 in the third. If she'd won those matches and she should have, then I'm sure Daniela would be in the top 20. Also, it would have given her so much confidence.

Daniela's usually beaten who she should beat but she's not had many wins against top players either. She started the year ranked in the low 20s and she's finishing it in the low 20s. Hopefully, she has a good off season and is ready to go for a good 2010.

Yes. I think overall it was a season of "almosts" for Daniela. Some of the loses to Cornet earlier on, the loss to Razzano in Dubai and being oh so close to defending her points at IW really summarise her season. She was so close to getting her groove back a couple of times this season, but something always stopped her. However, i still find it hard to stomach her loses to Date Krumm and Dulgheru - she had the momentum both times in those matches and let it slip dramatically. While Del and Krumm obviosuly maintained their good form i got the impression that it was Daniela's lack of consistency that ultimately lost her those matches.

I'm looking forward to a solid season in 2010. Daniela doesn't have a stack of points to defend at some of her favourite tournaments, like the Australian Open and IW, so if she can theoretically make a good start to the season it might bode well for the remainder. But then again, it's Daniela, so who knows. Hopefully she'll concentrate a little less on doubles and make a really good crack of qualifying for the YEC.
