Daniela posted on FB an hour ago a photo from Brisbane. I somehow had not seen your post from the 17th, Benji. Thanks much for the info. We will soon, then, and at long last, be able to root her on again!

Daniela's playing doubles with Jarmila Wolfe (nee Gajdosova) at the Australian Open.

Australian Open: our 6 in doubles, Hantuchova and waiting Mihalíková
Australian Open

01/13/2016, 02:12 - MELBOURNE - At the opening of the Australian Open in the doubles competition with certainty is 6 Slovak representatives.

In the women's PAVÚK appears clearly tandem Slovak Janette Husarova / Anna Carolina Schmiedlová. Furthermore, due to their status Ranking ensure a seat Magdalena Rybarikova with Belinda Benčičová. Dominika Cibulkova played alongside Kirsten Flipkens. The game also includes Daniela Hantuchova. Popradčanka agreed with Jarmila Wolfe (genus. Gajdosova). This cooperation, however, is the sixth as footnote. It is not excluded or free card from the tournament organizers. In doubles was claimed by the Tereza Mihalíková. The winner of last year's junior joined forces with Tereza Martincova. Czech-Slovak pair but does not have much chance. There are footnotes to the main competition at the 15th.

Good stuff Dani.

With a tournament the following week,I thought she might skip this tie.

DANIELA HANTUCHOVA RECIEVES SAN ANTONIO OPEN WILDCARD

Announcing the latest 2016 San Antonio Open wildcard recipient, former world No. 5 Daniela Hantuchova! Hantuchova is a Slovak tennis player and has been a staple of the WTA tour since 1999.
Hantuchova has won 7 WTA singles titles and 9 WTA doubles titles.




The inaugural San Antonio Open Tennis Tournament, a WTA 125K Series Event, will be held at the McFarlin Tennis Center March 13-19, 2016.

The San Antonio Open will be played outdoors on hard court and will include a 32-player singles main draw and an eight-team doubles draw.

After 25 years, we are thrilled to bring professional tennis back to San Antonio this March. San Antonio has a rich history of tennis dating back to Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova. The greatest that have graced the game have played in San Antonio. We look forward to continuing that tradition and hope to see you at McFarlin Tennis Center this March!

I think what it does show Alex is that Daniela doesn't anticipate having a deep run at Indian Wells, she'll either have to qualify or get a wildcard to get in and her recent record there has been terrible. The field in San Antonio is actually pretty decent and a lot of the players there are in the Indian Wells main draw so it's not going to be easy pickings for Daniela. At the same time she gets to play and go somewhere different.

Now isn't this so Daniellian!? Which WC will she take and which one will she turn down? Or, if she's one and done at IW, will she take both? Stay tuned for the next edition of the Daniela Dilemma!

I always felt that Daniela was likely to get a wildcard for Indian Wells as she's a two-time champion. I don't think she'll get any wildcards for any of the other Premiers and chances are she'll have to qualify for pretty much everything on the main tour after this. She may get a wildcard for some Internationals but Daniela's will have to play a lot of qualifying or go down to ITFs to get her ranking up.

A lot of the San Antonio players are in the Indian Wells main draw too so anyone that goes deep into Indian Wells will withdraw from San Antonio. Lets hope that Daniela doesn't play San Antonio because she's still playing at Indian Wells.
