Hey guys,

I haven't really understood the problem with Daniela and money in the article where the journalist attacks her on every question.

Could someone make me a summary, please?

Daniela Hantuchova trained in Las Vegas and Mexico, adding more weights to her regime, with a bit of leisure time on the side. But the statuesque Slovak would not have been spotted huddled over a roulette table or slot machine.

"I'm not really into gambling," she smiled. "I've been living in Monte Carlo for 10 years and I've never been to the casino! I like to be safe… and earn my money the proper way."

A little snippet from the WTA site.

I know this has already been posted in the Australian Open thread but Eduard Nicolas is back as Daniela's coach.

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."

There's also a mention in Marca that Daniela had a hitting session in Sydney with Carlos Cuadrado, the 2001 junior Roland Garros champion. It also says that Nicolas is Daniela's coach.

In my opinion I am in Brisbane and in Sydney against Szávay against Razzano demonstrated much better performance. However, this speaking in the second round I was very happy.

Throughout the game you own administration lost just nine balls. This is a great balance.
Yes. Throughout the duel, I felt that I was not making súperka compromise. I played okay. Only in the service I had from the beginning to get used to it very fast first filing. It was confirmed that the Dades Personals player, but I overcame its own advantages a good game. The basis was to get it renewed. They hurt me, not how. I felt that I had a clear upper hand.

Sixth of all the points you get interference on the network. It was part of tactics?
The coach knew that the worse Arvidsson moves. That is why I like it most of the exchanges it off and take every chance to go to a network point. And I was doing.

Helped you in the match against Swede vague and increased confidence in our great turnover in the opening round?
Definitely yes. Much more I drew, I can still be on the court. Lacked really very little that I have the doubles rozlúčila. Therefore I tried to take your game up, as could be. I did not like him in any crisis, which I was very pleased.

As you zregenerovali body after exhaustive meetings of the first round against Ukrajinke Kutuzova?
I went for traditional massage. And then there are special ice baths, which alternate between hot water with cold. This procedure has helped me a lot. In the evening I eat well and tried to sleep as much as possible.

Meeting the third round will be slightly different coffee. Waiting For You Chinawoman Li. This will help you the fact that you have deployed against šestnástke tournament positive balance 2:1?
Nothing else I do not expect a difficult match. Very good to know, because we train together often. Even before the lot is Mebourne. When you look at our joint meeting, you will discover that all three were trojsetové and extremely balanced. Chinawoman plays technically very nice and compact tennis. When your day is so against it invents something very difficult.

Organizers in everything we try to accommodate everyone is relaxed, smiling. Government are friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

After obtaining a complete collection of Grand Slam titles in mixed doubles, you said that the mix never appears. The spiders are not the Australian Open with Daniel Nestor second pair deployed. How did this come?
When you contact one of the best deblistov world to reject him. It was really last minute. It decided I was under the impression from the weather when it was raining at the start of the tournament, and I said to myself that mixes games might be a good workout.

Do you plan to revive memories of the year 2002, if you are in the mix triumphed with Kevin Ullyett?
Ah, so this time does not take seriously (laughter). I see this as a good training to me or not worth much force as possible in the third game is played championship tie-break to ten.

In Melbourne you with former coaches Eduardo Nicolas. This is a temporary solution, or is no longer your permanent coach?
We are together for several months and the new man I seek. I am very glad that he got. Two tournament titles, which I achieved in 2007, I received under his leadership. As is well known, may not be oťukávať. Another advantage is that the background is still and Darren Cahill, who in order when we close. With my current team I'm very happy.
