I wouldn't worry about it. It's ESPN the Magazine, not Playboy. Common sense tells you she isn't going to pose, nor would they publish, a nude shot that showed anything more than the normal amount of skin say a bikini would.

Most likely she'll be posed with her arms across her chest and her legs crossed to hide all the naughty bits. At most, I'm guessing we'll get a tad more butt cheek than we might otherwise get out of a normal Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoot, Which, I might remind everyone, she's already done.

There is such a thing as tasteful nudity afterall, and I would expect Dani to do nothing less.

Hantuchova: My friend Aga is a second Hingis

Slovak tennis player Daniela Hantuchova experiencing a difficult period of their career. The fatigue fracture of the leg had to miss part of the clay season. She returned to Wimbledon, but his favorite tournament, fell in the first round. About three weeks will be played on the courts at the All England Club tournament for Olympic medals.

Failed you play an American optimism Hampton before the Olympic tournament at Wimbledon grass?
"Yes. I am a realist. I knew that long after injury can not from one day to get in shape. I did not have enough natrénované. It would be rude of me to think that in this situation, I can achieve the result of penetrating."

You dohrávali singles with bandaged knee. The more matches you stepped in doubles - with a better feeling?
"Fortunately, knee prebolelo quickly. With Dominika Cibulkova we played very good match against a German realm - Barthelovej, we led 6-0, 5-0, when we lost the first gem. At that meeting we all went, we resorted to. It looked very promising. If we have a good ticket to the Olympics, it could be that of a solid result."

These days you prepare in Bratislava. What do you look?
"I put together the health, fitness, tennis. Every day I have a lot of work. I want to be well prepared for the Olympics."

How to solve a three-week break between Wimbledon and the Olympic tournament?
"Originally I wanted to pay only fitness training and training on grass. But now I miss matches, and so will travel to America for the tournament on a hard surface in San Diego."

What will be different from the Olympic tournament at Wimbledon?
"It will be more colorful. We have already talked about in the locker room with toys. The grandslame in London are the players, the players traditionally dressed in white, we have become accustomed to advertising. Now comes the more colors the Olympic symbols and perhaps a slightly different viewing scenery."

What will be your Olympic clothing collection?
"Reveals only so much that I have red sneakers."

Olympics played tennis in your early role, is not it?
"To this day it's emotional for me when I think of how I as a five-year home watching on television the way Milos Mecir in the 1988 Seoul gold. I caught it. The parents bought me a racquet and grandmother, I went to Matador for the first training. Still got it before the eyes, when I go to the NTC for the corridor and look at the big picture with Milošová medal around her neck."

In women's singles final at Wimbledon to enroll themselves Serena Williams and Agnieszka Radwanska. You have waited, it tightened the Polish tennis player so far?
"I am also happy for her. Aga and Caroline Wozniacki are my two best friends on the circuit. She deserved it, the whole tournament, played very well. It uses the situation that women's tennis is now in its peak very open. Aga is very fast, smart and one of the few, the thinking on the court. It is the second Martina Hingis. Comfortable girl."

What chance do you give the Polish tennis player in her first Grand Slam final?
"It may surprise you. It depends how Serena sleep, what will be the day. Is an American favorite. If Serena upset in the game, it could be interesting."

Body Double
July 17, 2012 By Matthew Cronin

FROM THE MERCURY INSURANCE OPEN IN CARLSBAD, CA – It was interesting to see and hear ESPN bring in a group of its women reporters to defend ESPN The Magazine’s “Body Issue” as preventive strike against feminists, or so I presume. Clearly, all of the athletes have great bodies and their commitment to fitness is be admired, both women and men. But lets not pretend there is no an attempt to sell sex, because there is. If not, why choose the pretty tennis player Daniel Hantuchova over I don’t know, another 50 women tennis players who have more muscular physiques and greater body weight?

Don’t get me wrong, Daniela is tone and has down about all she can to add muscle to her slender frame, but the reason why she was chosen for the cover of ESPN Magazine is because she has as close to a supermodel body as any women’s athlete around and she photographs very well. She is also bright and interviews well, which is why her ESPN interview is worth reading, but she, like some of the other athletes in the issue, have had their photos touched up. Hantuchova is an attractive woman whom I’ve seen hundreds of times without make up and she does not quite look like that. And you know what? She’s more attractive without the makeup, because she’s looks real.

Folks may get a kick out of this: after her 6-4 7-5 loss to Urszula Radwanska I started to ask her about her stress facture in her right heel that took her out of the clay court season and the second I mentioned the ESPN Body Issue interview, she turned bright red. I told her that she wasn’t allowed to blush as she’s on the cover (naked), and one would think mst shy people don’t strip.

“ I didn’t know it I was going to be on the cover,” she said told me with her hand covering part of her face. “But it’s a huge privilege. And I did enjoy the shoot and it was very classy.”

She went to the L.A. party that celebrated the magazine last week and said that everyone pretty much recognized her. There was poster of her one of her nude shots inside of the party, which she passed by really quickly. Now she’ll never be able to walk around US sporting circles unrecognized again.

“Like I always said, I let my rackets do the talking, but I guess I’ve been saying that for the last 13 years" she said with another hearty laugh. “But sometimes it’s nice to do something different.”

It’s going to be tough going for the Slovakian for the rest of her career. She’s not exactly a young 29 as she ‘s been playing pretty much full time since 1999 and is coming off a serious foot injury. She says she loves the sport and there’s not doubt she still likes to compete, but her lack of movement has always played against her –hence her lack of a Slam signles title – an if her foot never really heals whatever quickness she had could disappear.

She’s ranked No. 32 now, her much admired body is beat up and while I could easily see her playing for another three years, I can also see her singles skills eroding to the point where she drops 15 ranking spots a year so by 2014 she’ll be out of the top 75. I hope not because she’s been a enjoyable player to watch over the years, as she constantly tinkers with her game and I’m always wondering what new wrinkle she’ll add next and no, I’m not taking about the lines around her eyes.

“I have to be find ways to e smarter because I still want to do this very much and want to put the same effort in, “ she said. “It’s just not possible and probably the injury is a signal for me to slow down in way, and don’t do as much as I want to. Less is more – that my new campaign.”

With Daniela Hantuchova in Carlsbad have played two matches in doubles. Has resonated well as the Olympic theme?
Certainly. On the doubles with Daniela I look forward and hope there's something uhráme. Also in Carlsbad us together was quite, but we got a really good rival.

Sergio Garcia plays tennis with Daniela Hantuchova at U.S. Open
Posted at 5:01 PM by David Dusek | Categories: Sergio Garcia
NEW YORK -- Sergio Garcia may have pulled out of this week's Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston to rest before the Ryder Cup, but he's not lounging at home of the sofa.

On Tuesday afternoon the Spaniard, who won the Wyndham Championship two weeks ago and tied for third last week at the Barclays Championship, was on the Practice Court 1 Tuesday at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., hitting tennis balls with 5-foot-11 Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova.

Although Garcia spent most of his time on the court assisting Hantuchova by picking up stray tennis balls, the two exchanged forehards and backhands on a few occasions, with Garcia flashing a sweet topspin forehard that he no doubt groomed on the red clay courts of Spain.

Hantuchova, 29, lost in singles on Monday to fellow Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the 17th seed here at the U.S. Open, but she is still in the women's doubles the mixed doubles events.

Garcia loves tennis, and years before dating Greg Norman's daughter, Morgan-Leigh, he had a relationship with Martina Hingis.Who knows, maybe Garcia and Hantuchova can set up a mixed double game against Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki in Chicago during the Ryder Cup?
