2011 finalist Hantuchova enters AEGON Classic

World number 17 Daniela Hantuchova is set to return to the AEGON Classic in Birmingham next month as she bids to go one better than last year and lift the coveted title.

The Slovak ace has been confirmed in the main draw for the tournament at the Edgbaston Priory Club, which will take place from 11-17 June, and will be looking to improve on her performance in 2011 when she was beaten in the final by Germany’s Sabine Lisicki.

- Meet and Greet

20 Uhr: “Daniela Hantuchova 10th anniversary celebration” Walking dinner. Nur für geladene Gäste (by invitation only) im BGL BNP Paribas VIP Club

I'm OK with that. She'd be pushing it way too soon, and even though it's her favorite city, who needs to put up with what she did last year from people I'm ashamed to call fellow Italians in the Schaivone match? Let's Go, Daniela!

Domi did say that they had agreed to play before the extent of her injury was known. I'd be OK with Daniela taking the Clijsters route and skipping the clay entirely in order to concentrate on the grass court season.
