Daniela Hantuchova could be dark horse to win ASB Classic in Auckland

Last updated 05:00, January 3 2015

After 14 years in the top 100 women's tennis players you could forgive Daniela Hantuchova for feeling a little fatigued.

Fourteen years on tour, away from home in Monte Carlo and competing in some of the most ruthless tournaments on earth.

But the Slovakian tennis player, known for her exploits off the court as well as on, breezed into the Stanley St tennis courts in Auckland this week and spoke confidently of her chances at this, her second showing at the ASB Classic.

Hantuchova is one of a stellar line up in New Zealand for this year's tournament that includes top 30 women's tennis players in Caroline Wozniacki and Sara Errani and the likes of US stars Sloane Stephens and Venus Williams.

Two-time Grand Slam champion and former world No 2 Svetlana Kuznetsova (ranked at 27 in the world) is another big drawcard and will provide stern competition for the likes of Wozniacki, Errani and Williams.

But Hantuchova, ranked at 64 in the world, should not be dismissed as an easy beat. She has been one of the most successful players on the WTA Tour over the past decade

She launched her career by beating Martina Hingis in the 2002 Indian Wells final. From there she has gone on to record almost $10 million in prize money and capture six WTA career titles.

2014 saw her reach the third round at the Australian Open and Roland Garros, the quarterfinals in Charleston and the semifinal in Marrakesh.

She also remains one of the most recognisable faces on the women's circuit due to her previous work with Sports Illustrated and relationship with golfer Sergio Garcia.

Hantuchova arrived in Auckland on Sunday and was surprised at the upgrade at the Stanley St courts since her last appearance in 2006.

"It's been a while. I am nicely surprised with all the facilities. It has changed big time. It is great to be back and hopefully I can prepare the best way I can."

Hantuchova has recently changed coaches linking with Carlos Rodriquez who has coached the likes of Li Na and said she wanted 2015 to be a better year.

"I wanted to start the year in a different way and I thought Auckland would be a great way to kick off the season."

Hantuchova struggled with an injury to her right knee at the end of the last season but said retirement was far from her mind.

"I am really enjoying the game still and I am injury free at the moment. I am looking forward to the new year. I will just give my best every day and see what happens."

"Auckland is great preparation. Hopefully, I can get in as many matches as possible, try to give my best. These days everybody comes well prepared and ready to go from the first tournament.

"The girls are taking it all very seriously. It is not, anymore, about warm ups and stuff."

Wildcard Hantuchova embracing new challenges

The New Year is not quite two weeks old and Daniela Hantuchova has already racked up a couple of firsts.

In Auckland the former world No.5 had a go at SUP yoga – striking poses on a surfboard out on the water, for the uninitiated – and although she admitted to falling into the lake once, she was instantly hooked.

“It was so much fun,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to do it but I never had the time – I didn’t want to leave!

“At first I wasn’t sure if I would be able to stand up on the thing and there we are, doing yoga poses. It’s actually a good workout, especially for your core.”

And now for another first – a debut appearance at the Hobart International. Hantuchova accepted a wildcard to join a competitive field featuring Casey Dellacqua, Sloane Stephens and Heather Watson in the build-up to the Australian Open, and has enjoyed her first few days in Tasmania.

“It’s nice to come to a place that I’ve never been before, even after 15 years on the tour,” said the 31-year-old during a tour of the Salamanca Markets in downtown Hobart.

Hantuchova is becoming accustomed to new experiences in recent weeks. Last month she announced that Carlos Rodriguez, the former coach of Justine Henin and Li Na, would be in her corner in 2015, a partnership she describes as an honour.

“Out of all the coaches I’ve had in the past 20 years, he’s the most impressive,” Hantuchova admitted. “It’s been very exciting – after 15 years on the tour I’m listening to new things, every day trying to improve and learn. It is pretty impressive.”

Rodriguez has laid out his plan for propelling the world No.62 back inside the top 50. While the Slovakian is a willing student the lessons have been pretty tough, but Hantuchova believes she is already reaping the benefits.

“We did change a few things technically, which is not easy for me at this age,” she joked. “Obviously he wants me to come in more, which we worked very hard at.

“It’s probably the best pre-season I’ve ever done, which is quite nice to have that feeling after so many years, and I had a great win against Errani [at the ASB Classic] last week. I just can’t wait for the first Grand Slam to start and we’ll see where my game is.”

With players looking to find their rhythm as soon as possible in the early stages of the season, Hantuchova know that her experience could prove vital. Learning to play without thinking is the key, says the Slovakian.

“Once I’m in the matches, it’s about trying to think how I can win instead of thinking too much about technique and things that I’ve worked on in the pre-season,” she explained. “That’s the tricky part, trying to stop thinking and focus on the result.”

Matches certainly help, especially with the year’s first Grand Slam a week away. Should she see off qualifier Richel Hogenkamp in the first round, Hantuchova’s Hobart draw could set up a potential second-round tie with No.2 seed Zarina Diyas – just the type of test she’ll be hoping for before heading to Melbourne.

“That would be great, but I just take it one match at a time,” she insisted. “Having done this for so many years I know exactly what to expect, what to do.

“The main thing is to try to give my best in training as well as the matches now, because it’s all about the preparation for the big tournaments.”

Still, another first – a title on Australian soil – must rank as the best preparation she could ask for.

Hantuchova Age means nothing and 60th place is not a tragedy
