Hantuchova no plans to quit, although it is not easy for ego

Today | 10:10 BRATISLAVA - Highest Grand Slam win in his career. The very real threat of falling from first world hundreds. Pretĺkanie the qualifications in 32 years. Many others would have in the position of saying that it was time to stop. Slovak Daniela Hantuchova Fed Cup record holder in itself but still has the desire to continue tennis career after a recipe to "stop time" goes to China.

In 2003, the WTA's position climbed to fifth place. Before it was then only four players, which dragged it to the post world leader - Americans Serena and Venus Williams and Kim Clijsters Belgium girl and Justine Henin.

There is on the 89th position and in danger of the Australian Open after falls from hundreds of World, which includes continuously since 26 February 2001. If the next month failed to defend the title at the tournament in Pattaya, while accepting even tougher Ranking fall. 2014 (balance 18-30) and 2015 (16-20) were the first in her career when she had to get used to that often played as a winner.

"It's not easy for the ego. It should be able to accept the current situation. Nothing to it incorrectly. I will continue to strive every day to profit from the best. I still want to learn and look for ways to not only be a better tennis player, but also a man," said Hantuchova.

Hantuchova realizes that her style of play is not modern. In women's tennis he went to the forefront of force. "Tennis intelligence is disappearing and I very lacking. The current toys are indeed good athlete, but tennis skill game in their absence. They play stereotypical, although physically 'namakané'. At today's speeds difficult to apply 'chess' moves."

Slovak has a critical view on the current state of women's tennis. "The top 150 player wore the world is such adjusted that it is difficult to win even a game. Even so, I still think that the quality of the top ten was higher at a time when I was on top. From tennis disappeared personality. Hold it there Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. When he finished, I'm not sure if they will be anyone to replace. "

The emphasis on physical readiness by the Poprad sounds funny toys. "Sometimes when I laugh on what many teams have some toys. Div that with you not take a physical therapist, who would take care of a physiotherapist. It is a completely different era, I quite far."

Experienced tennis player claims that young players often have a different motivation than a generation. "With Martina Hingis we recently talked about, that we cibrili skills on the court and five hours, then the tennis yet talked three hours at dinner. The currently last training often only 45 minutes, followed by a physical therapist and everything else. Therefore, lack of personality. We loved tennis, currently the main objective of completely different. Often, it's about who has more fans on social networks."

When talking about tennis is not active Spent impression. Their profession is sincere advice. "How do I know if is in me, even if only one percent feel that I can still play and about the will."

The development of women's tennis is not like Hantuchova. If he wants to keep on the WTA must win over a younger silovejšími aug. What can be the matches against them to do? "That's a good question, to which we seek an answer and I'll play around until I find it. It's a nice challenge for me - try to think of something to be successful with my game, which was effective ten years ago."

Hantuchova flying across the board on a tennis longevity in China, where it operates an Argentine expert Carlos Rodriguez. The coach is very successful with Belgian Justine Henin and Chinese woman Li. Asian Woman under his leadership and shone in her thirties. Slovakian coaches worked with this at the start of last season. He described it as the best coach in your career what she had. Cooperation, however, if only lasted until April

"Initially with me had to travel on clay tournament, but finally could relax from work in the Beijing Academy. I have experienced already in tennis many things, but this was for me a really big blow. In cooperation with him, I in fact gave everything. I was very energized . When our paths parted, took me," he admitted Hantuchova last year during Roland Garros.

From June to October he led her Spaniard Oscar Serrano. "We parted amicably with additions that together we can sometimes still do. We are well in fact reasonable. In tennis confesses, plays perfectly and is a great guy," he commented this brief collaboration toys that often changes the coaches.

Currently indicated in Box tennis coach again Rodriguez. "The situation has not changed - still does not travel, but I was willing to again go after him. Before the season, I spent six weeks in China. The trainings were excellent. This is Carlos a real tip, but conditions were very difficult. The whole time I was in fact prepared in the hall, often in temperatures of minus ten degrees. In Australia I then struggled accustoming to external conditions. It is in fact a huge difference. In the past I always at least part of the preparation completed outside the hall, " closer Hantuchova.

What advises Rodriguez? "Enough toys in exchanges, in which we can apply the tennis intelligence. The problem, however, the first two or three blows. If I could withstand them, there would be my way."

Our tennis player eager for the start of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but now it is very far from it. Time to collect points has to Roland Garros. "Point conversion, prefer not dealt with because then I probably could not throw the ball over the net. Currently it is not exactly rosy. Participation in the Olympics is still my dream. That has not changed since I was a little girl."

Debacle 0: 6, 6: 2 in the first round of the Australian Open by Svetlana Kuznetsova looks menacing. Hantuchova, however, the tournament Down Under takes away the positives. The qualifications in Sydney have lost three battles against toys from the Top 100 are set.

Come one day moment when the need to give small single career goodbye. Continuing to position deblových specialist coaching or tempted her. "After the Career me around the court probably find it. Pulling me to the business. Idei very much."

Tennis player would start a family council time. "When I see the players' areas many strollers and waving to me a very. But I'll see what the future holds."

You are fully able to concentrate on the fight for Rio and relishes that after a long period of feeling physically well. Slovak fans will see it obviously in the Fed Cup match against Australia. The captain Matthias Lipták, while in Melbourne for the Fed Cup still did not speak, but Commenting on possible participation in the team was expressed positively.

Daniela was way too trusting. There was no way that the Chinese authorities would ever allow Carlos time off to coach a foreign player-Even Li Na was forced to go without him when Academy business came up.

I do hope this interview isn't as bitter as the translation made it seem.

She won in 7 career WTA tournaments, triumphed four times in Grand Slam mikście, three times she played at the Olympics. This season, for the first time in 15 years Daniela Hantuchova dropped out of the "hundreds" ranking. Rivals of the Top 50 turned on even traded two hundred places below, but from further competition is not going to give up quickly.

Andrzej Soboń: How is your first time in Katowice? In qualifying WTA Katowice Open win three games, the most difficult in the last round of the seeded "One" Katerina Kozlova.
Daniela Hantuchova: I did not know anything about the last rival. For me the most important thing is to focus on your own game. At this tournament is very family, you can feel at home. Maybe because it is very close to Slovakia. I feel very good, because I like just such a place where I can feel at ease and comfortable. We travel all over the world, sometimes different and always very nice to hit in such a place. I do not put before them a specific goal in this tournament, I want to give everything in every game. I will try to do his on the court and see how I go.

For 15 consecutive seasons do not fall out of your TOP 100 ranking of WTA, the most you were in 5th place, and now it is 180. It is difficult to accept this new situation, when you play in smaller tournaments in qualifying with a lot of below listed zawodniczkami?
Daniel Hantuchova: I honestly do not. Maybe it's because I love so much tennis. I am grateful that I was able to fifteen years to be here. It does not happen every day, and not everyone has that opportunity. Not everyone also has the mental strength to compete at this level year after year. I am exhausted its limit. It's normal, it's high time some fall. Do not stressing me, and it will play until I'm healthy and feel the love of the game. It is a new challenge for me. To tell the truth I no longer look for ranking. This chapter of my career, when I had something to prove as a person and tennis player, is closed. Each result will be okay for me. I play the game, but the goal is always the biggest tournaments. I have to accept their place in the ranking. Now I will have a lot more games in qualifying.

So what are your goals this season? The performance in Rio de Janeiro is real?
Daniela Hantuchova: Nothing I will prove, I'll just think about the next match. The Olympic Games in Rio still dream, but it will be very difficult ...

You think about them more for doubles?
Daniela Hantuchova: I do not know ... Alone was always my priority.

But it was in doubles was the lady in three Grand Slam finals and won mixed in each of them.
Very well I played and I can say that my career in doubles was great, especially in mixed. It was a beautiful time, but now it is more important single.

Analyzed the causes of your failures? There will be some changes in the team?
Daniela Hantuchova: No, I am satisfied with the current team and our cooperation.

With the tournament in Katowice, he withdrew Agnieszka Radwanska, due to injury and fatigue. Do you believe that tennis players are overly exploited? Season should be shorter?
Daniela Hantuchova: It is a pity that the Aga not occur ... It is not easy to play a full season, especially when it is at the same level as Agnieszka. The game very much and is doing great. I fully understand the situation. He must do what is good for her, and the most important thing is to take care of your body and health. Without this, there are no results. It is a pity that it had to withdraw from the domestic tournament, but remember, she did a lot of great things for the Polish around the world. We all love to play at home and then we always try to give my maximum, but we must first think about yourself.

Mrs. founded a charitable foundation, DH Foundation, but little is known about it. Who helps?
Daniela Hantuchova: We started this project some time ago. It's very personal, because I find that the charity is not something that should be publicly broadcast. I feel in my heart that I should do it. One of the actions organized in Cambodia, we start with other projects in Slovakia. My position and what I achieved in life is something special. I am grateful for what I got and I feel the responsibility that I should share it.
