Slams place major pressure on players
PUBLISHED JAN 20, 2018, 5:00 AM SGT

Progressing deep into the second week needs immense mental strength, says Hantuchova
Nicole Chia

As the first of 38 maiden Grand Slam women's singles semi-finalists over the past decade, Daniela Hantuchova knows all about the nerves that come with reaching the last four of a major.

Only 10 have progressed to the title decider and, the Slovakian, who retired last year, was not one of them despite leading 6-0, 2-0 against Ana Ivanovic at the 2008 Australian Open.

Ten years have since passed, but the memory of that day remains clear in her mind, as it took her "a very long time to get over".

"I was so super nervous... it's a completely different experience from any other tournament and I remember talking to my coach three or four times about the match because I wanted to make sure I was as prepared as possible," the ninth seed in 2008 told The Straits Times.

"Things probably went too good too fast and I was not mentally ready to actually believe that I could be in the final."



A 39th woman will play in her first Grand Slam semi-final next week at the Australian Open as nobody in world No. 4 Elina Svitolina's section of the draw has gone so far after Venus Williams, Sloane Stephens, Ekaterina Makarova and Peng Shuai crashed out in the first round.

And Hantuchova's advice for the semi-final debutante is: "Just enjoy the moment and appreciate that you're among the top four best players on this incredible occasion... and don't think too much about the results."

The former world No. 5 is in town as a pundit for the Fox Sports Asia commentary team, which recently announced an extension of its long-term broadcast partnership with Tennis Australia for the Australian Open.

Reflecting on how she was overwhelmed by the enormity of the occasion 10 years ago in her 29th Major appearance, she said: "I was putting so much pressure on myself trying to be perfect, which we know doesn't exist.

"Just too much focus on the results instead of enjoying being on the centre court and not worrying as much about the results.

"Of course it's hard to do because you put so much effort and so much work in but (I wish I had) just been able to appreciate it a little bit more."


Elaborating on the difficulty of making deep runs at Grand Slam events, the 34-year-old noted that the immense mental strength required is "nothing like any other tournament".

She added: "I won Indian Wells twice (in 2002 and 2007) but being in the semis in Melbourne was totally different - it took me about two to three weeks to recover because it takes so much energy and effort that people don't see.

"You have to compete not only physically but also mentally."


Melbourne Park was also the site of one of her greatest victories when she defeated defending champion Serena Williams 6-1, 7-6 (7-5) in the third round in 2006.

It was Hantuchova's only win in 10 meetings with the American.

"That was a fantastic experience for me and one that I will remember but there were many other occasions where she proved to me why she's No. 1," said Hantuchova of the 23-time Major singles champion.

"Her serve really always got her out of trouble.

"If I close my eyes, I can still remember all the aces that she used to hit on the break points. She was just a privilege to play against because she brings out the best in you when you play against her - that's what you've got to do (to have a chance)."


SELF-DOUBT

Things probably went too good too fast and I was not mentally ready to actually believe that I could be in the final.

CHANNEL YOUR INNER STRENGTH

Enjoy the moment and appreciate that you're among the top four best players on this incredible occasion... and don't think too much about the results.

Cibulkova has no powerful weapon, says Navratilova
Tennis legend in a big interview for SMEs and the first triumph at Wimbledon, as he did not represent any immigrant country.

January 23, 2018 on 16:39 ANDREJ BUČKO, Melbourne

In the past you were mentor Daniela Hantuchova. You've followed her career?

"It's been quite a long time ago, but I remember. She had a great career. It could be a little better, but worse. Well what they achieved was not enough. The only Slovak Grand Slam winner, four titles at all four events in the mix, the world number five, winner of the Hopman Cup and the Fed Cup, Australian Open semifinalist. Excellent career. And if not several times luck in lottery tickets and did not catch as many Williams sisters could go on.

Always she tried and did what she could. She played nice tennis, attractive but hard fighting against grueling it was difficult. Not some great weapon. You always meet, even if you can not. No such weapons were not accepted. I'm glad she's happy and satisfied after giving up tennis career. When you leave, as if you dropped a boulder from the heart. Do not have pressure or stress, you are more relaxed. "

Beauty Hantuchova in Melbourne: Tennis life of me missing, it was not normal
22. 1. 2018

ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF MELBOURNE: More than a tennis fan sad when Slovak beauty Daniela Hantuchova last year announced the end of his career. Tennis world found the former world top five in Melbourne, where a year-old Hantuchova played alongside tournament legend Martina Navratilova. "I go through phases of standardization, tennis life had not really normal," she says bitterly Hantuchova.

Exactly ten years ago, here in Melbourne Hantuchova played a semi-final against Ana Ivanovic. Led 6: 0 and 2: 0, but eventually lost the match. To pieces and lost the chance to fight for a Grand Slam title. "Now I am enjoying the time without tennis, because the cup overflowed at some point," said Hantuchova about mental demands of world tennis.

The tennis team continued to fight but, rather, with one of them. Maria Sharapova and her Sugarpova confectionery brand has decided to compete with their sticks D-One. "But it does not compare at all. My sticks are completely different from those of her belongings. They are healthy, not contain any sugar or oil," she argues.

In addition to a healthy diet Hantuchova pondering what to do with life on. Thinking about the child, occasionally commenting matches for Fox, but tennis as such does not want to come back, even as a coach. The exception made for the Australian Open, where she picked up the racket and joined with Martina Navratilova to compete legends.

What is it like to be a legend?
It's funny, so I do not feel at all. (laughs) It's a great honor for me that so soon after the end of their careers invited me here. I appreciate it, but I'm probably a legend.

With Martina Navratilova i've ever played competitive matches and is said to be your mentor when your career started. What that meant?
That was a long time ago. But it was set to me familiar with the WTA circuit, for what they are prepared to deal with the media or fans. I appreciate that I can be at her side.

How often now holding racket in hand?
Actually already very little. As I finished a career, so it's not me missing. Cup has just overflowed. Weeks and months of tennis and I really enjoyed. It was strange, because before that I could not prove it without tennis imagine a day. But then it turned around completely.

You do not plan that would fall on coaching career?
At the moment, certainly not. I know it takes a lot of traveling and other victims. Now I like to play exhibitions, comment tennis, for me it's a nice change. I fall out of the tennis roundabouts completely, but I know that for me it's only eight weeks a year. And that is enough.

How do you plan to continue commenting?
Komentujte now for Fox Sports. I agreed that I would be here in Australia and at Wimbledon. I really appreciate it, it has a huge audience. As a result they now recognize people at the airport, but not for tennis, but from television. (laughter)

You have to pay attention to your mouth?
It's a big responsibility and I am careful what I say. I try to respect all players, even when they're wrong. I was in their situation, and I know how I hurt every media criticism. I try to explain to people why sometimes even the best fail.

How you spend your days off?
Not so many. I have to work and other things, and I'm pretty busy. But finally I fell off the stress of being constantly have to be physically and mentally ready for serving performance during matches. Now that I never miss. (smile)

Last year you launched your brand sticks healthy D-One. Compete with Sharapova and her Sugarpova brand of sweets?
My rods are completely different from those of their belongings. They are healthy, they do not have any sugar or oil. It took me a year before I made to my satisfaction. One hundred percent behind that stand as an athlete. I put into it more than twenty years of experience.

Where are you coming up on sticks took an active career at the time?
There were days when I get up at half past four, because I do it still practicing and playing tournaments. But I am accustomed to discipline, so I prosecute.

Earlier you said that you are considering as well as family and children. Is there a difference?
It is required to reserve time. The longer I am from tennis, the more I come to the tennis life is not normal. I go through phases and standardization, to meet a normal life and seeing a bit of themselves.

How do you perceive the current tennis scene in which the tip comes in new and young players?
It's been a different era, everything is open. Chance to win a grand slam or be a world leader really has a lot of tennis players. I think a little lacking big names that have been with us. As a player, it was a concept now ... Not that it was not so, but all tennis players have settled on a similar level, so it's very open.

Daniela Hantuchova Enjoying Retirement From Life On The WTA Tour
By Mike McIntyre

Many professional athletes struggle when making the transition from life in the spotlight to the more solitary confines that come along with retirement from their playing days. Don't count Daniela Hantuchova among them. "I have to say in my case it was easy. I thought it was going to be a nightmare but I’m enjoying it more than ever." The former World No. 5 from Slovakia spoke candidly about how much she is enjoying life after professional tennis when I chatted with her prior to the Tie Break Tens event in New York on Monday.

In fact when I asked her if she missed life on the WTA Tour, Hantuchova couldn't have replied any faster. "No, absolutely not." More specifically she pointed out the difficulties of, "...the pressure of things and the traveling and not being able to enjoy a normal life."

Coming out for a one night only event was an easy decision when the opportunity was brought to her by her agent. She enjoyed getting the competitive juices flowing again and the fact that the event was being held in one of her favorite cities in the world made the choice an obvious one. "I mean when I heard Madison Square Garden New York I said of course. It’s a privilege to be here."

Having both Marion Bartoli and Serena Williams also shaking off the rust must have helped calm any nerves that Hantuchova was feeling about returning to the court. She gave her opponent CoCo Vandeweghe plenty of credit before stepping into the spotlight by tipping the American as the favorite heading into the fast-paced tiebreak event.

Any reservations about how the 34 year old Slovakian would be able to handle CoCo's pace were quickly put to rest and I think Hantuchova surprised even herself by staking a 6-3 lead in the first to ten point tiebreak.

The crafty veteran clearly had a game plan and that was to try to take advantage of Vandeweghe's court coverage and get her moving early and often. Five points into the breaker and we had already seen two drop shots from Hantuchova. The first caught her American opponent by surprise but she caught on by the second one and flicked a beautiful cross-court winner past Hantuchova to signal that she was ready to run. The tide turned and eventually it was the 26 year old Vandeweghe who prevailed 10-7 - a very respectable score considering Hantuchova's time away from competitive play.


Don't expect the solid display to indicate that Hantuchova might follow Marion and Serena back to the tour, not even for doubles. But she said she would welcome another opportunity like this one here in New York. "Exhibitions and things like that. I still love the sport so much, it’s in my heart and my DNA. I think it’s the most beautiful sport in the world."

It was refreshing to see a player who was so at peace and content with her decision to leave the game when she did and on her own terms. Hantuchova showed over the course of her solid career that one can not only survive without possessing a power game, but can in fact flourish by playing the sport in a way that others too would describe as beautiful.




Daniela Hantuchova is right about everything.

5. Honoring a legend

One of the surprising things about this tournament is that no woman has won the singles title more than twice. One of the two-time winners was honored during a ceremony on Stadium Court on Thursday afternoon -- Daniela Hantuchova. The now-retired Hantuchova was given a present and a nice ovation as she was lauded between matches. She won this event in 2002 and 2007. "I would never have had the career I had if it weren't for this tournament. My plan now is simple, keep enjoying life," she said. Thanks for the memories, Daniela!

WTA Fantasy Tennis: Daniela Hantuchova's picks for the Miami Open
Daniela Hantuchova may have retired from the professional game but she still knows the WTA and the strengths of its current stars. Check out the Slovakian's selections for the Miami Open.
WTA FANTASY TENNIS
March 15, 2018

The 2018 season has been exciting — and so has the WTA’s fantasy tennis game: The Porsche Race To Singapore Challenge.

Completely free to enter, the game offers the opportunity for fans to show their tennis expertise against friends and other fans.

Those fantasy players who competed in previous tournaments of the Tournament Challenge will know the aim of the game is to pick four starters and two alternates for each event. Fantasy points directly correspond to the WTA Rankings points picked up by your chosen players.

Before making your fantasy selections for the Miami Open, consider the picks of Daniela Hantuchova, who definitely knows tennis.

DANIELA HANTUCHOVA'S MIAMI OPEN FANTASY PICKS:

Caroline Wozniacki
“First of all you have to go with Caroline Wozniacki, for the year she’s been having so far, winning the Australian Open, and just how fit and mentally tough she is.”

Simona Halep
“Simona Halep is another top pick for her competitiveness. Seeing her so relaxed, not putting too much pressure on herself as No.1 – I think all her work with Darren Cahill is really paying off. If they keep doing what they’re doing, she’s going to have a great chance not just at Miami but for many more titles this year as well.”

Angelique Kerber
“Angelique Kerber seems to be finding the better side of her game again. Her new coach Wim Fissette provides fresh input and I just think she’s enjoying her tennis again, which didn’t seem to be the case last year.”

Garbiñe Muguruza
“Then I would go with Garbiñe Muguruza. A great ball striker with a big game, she knows how to win big titles and if she’s having a great couple of weeks, we can definitely see her lift the trophy.”

Looking to take a chance on your picks? Check out Hantuchova's sleeper picks:

Sleeper Pick: Serena Williams
"I had the privilege to watch her play at Madison Square Garden last week and she made a great return at Indian Wells. With Serena it’s all about her… whatever she decides, it’s pretty much going to happen! She seems to really be enjoying herself on court, which is beautiful to see for women’s tennis. Miami might be too early, but I think very soon we’ll be seeing her playing final after final.”

Sleeper Pick: Victoria Azarenka
“Obviously she’s won the Miami Open before, and that can be a big factor – it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been away, but when you return to a part of the world where you’ve done well, it just feels easier to put everything together. If Vika is able to do that, she might have a chance as well.”

Sleeper Pick: Petra Kvitova
“Petra Kvitova is another player you can never sign off, because with her style of game, all that lefty power, when she’s having a good day it doesn’t really matter who is on the other side of the net.”

Sleeper Pick: Karolina Pliskova
“Another Czech player with a big weapons, especially the serve, of course. Flying a little under the radar, I think the conditions in Miami could fit her well and if she’s mentally there, she’s certainly got the game.”

Daniela Hantuchova: finally live a normal life!
20 March 2018
by Katka & Iva

Hello baby! Today we bring you an interview with another mega successful wife, former tennis player Daniela Hantuchová. We are absolutely honored to be interviewed for our blog agreed, and when we sent the answers to the questions literally turnover, we said that this is unreal, what a proficka. It could be big-headed because it has to be you. It could act superior, and no one could tell even half a word. However, she is forever a smiling, pleasant, helpful and we love her for it! After finishing his tennis career living in Rome, but travels around the world, it is extremely busy. Get inspired by her story!

It was hard to make a decision, you end up with tennis? How long did you take this step odhodlávala?
Of course, such a decision took a long time because tennis has been my life by five years and it was not easy. But once I made the step to ending, I felt incredibly free and I feel like I was born again. Until then, I in fact did not have time for anything else! Now he finally began a normal life. Tennis, however, will always be part of my life. Although I ended up with professional tennis, I surrendered to it completely, because something you love is forever a part of you. I gave up but professional tour and travel first eleven months of the year.

Your life looks like now, after retiring? Enjoying "pension" or still in the working carousel?
Ahahaa retire in 34 years, probably not the right word, even though the sport so anyway. ? By my whole life Makala on the court, the work I used to, because it's a natural part of my life. I can not imagine now somewhere on the beach lie about their hands. Since childhood my parents led to the hard work, I know that I will remain forever, and I'm grateful for it immensely. But the difference is that now you have a job and can choose projects and for enjoying time off, you simply can. That's what I knew last twenty years. I enjoy very commenting matches, that I really did not expect that in this way I can find. Then there are various tennis exhibitions. Such as now recently in Madison Square Garden (New York), which was an amazing experience! Playing in front of a full stadium, along with Serena and Venus Williams, unforgettable! At the beginning of the year I played for the first Grand Slam legend, a great honor for tennis players. In addition, I focus on continuing improvement in my healthy raw bars my značšky D-One, which begins very flourish and me enjoying it. In April I amsadárorkou ČSOB Bratislava marathon, we will also have its own D-one relay and in the summer I organize a couple of D-one golf tournaments, all are actions to support the D-one foundation ... So what I tell you is bored.

Wow, you did not happen to relax? Btw , which of there activities makes you most happy?
Everything has something to fulfill, and it is great that it is also diverse. I'm always doing many things at once, so I can not tell you which of these things makes me most happy. All I really appreciate it. But I have to say that New York was for me one of the most experience ever! I never thought that I play in Madison Square Garden ... And it was not actually until after I finished with professional tennis. All the other players are still active ... I guess I do not appreciate most...

Sports and now that you do not? What kind of sports do you like most?
Of course yes! I can not imagine without sports work, as twenty-nine years was my 'job' ... super is that now I can do all sports, for which I have the right taste. When I played, so I had to be more careful. Very grabbed my golf, I finally have the time to properly go skiing and when it can be so early every morning defector to the gym ... But the advantage is that when you catch up, or I do not want to, I do not.

Why did you chose to live in Rome? As it looks Your typical day?
Since my childhood I was longing to live here, really suits me the Italian mentality and way of living. By my whole life toiling, so that the life I can take much more than anywhere else in the world. By that I trained for many years, I have been here for background, circle of friends, etc ... And that food! about that perhaps I do not even have to talk...

You're not so classic muscular sportswoman, you also modelkovské assumptions. Do you modeling?
Now I enjoy more than when I played professionally. Because at that time I felt that the time you devote photographing, I could better be used for training. Since all the energy I wanted to put only in tennis, so I'm more or less always 'introduce' the schedule. Now, if you can afford the time, and this activity can take more.

You told us Your latest Stmívání without which you can not exist.
I do not know if it's fashionable gadget, but really I enjoy traveling finally just with a nice handbag and batožinkou the cabin and not with five suitcases and a bag on his shoulders!

How do you imagine your life in a few years?
Together husband and children in the house somewhere near Rome, where it will be a little more peace in their education than in the city. I wish especially to all my closest be healthy, happy and to live in love and peace...

DANIELKA, thank you for this interview and wish you all the very best!

Unreal woman you say baby? So ... normal! Many of us are living professional sportsman is very simple, but in fact the amount of toil and self-denial ... Did you like today's conversation? To Daniela ask for any additional questions, feel free to write to us them in the comments!

We have a great rest Wednesday!
