Daniela Hantuchova : "I feel that I am coming back"
11 February 2004 - Thibaut FRAIX-BURNET
Daniela Hantuchova qualified herself for the 2nd round of the Open Gaz de
France thanks to the withdrawal of her competitor, Sandrine Testud.
She is in search of good performances in Paris.
Q:What are your hopes for this tournament?
A:I just want to play a few tight games. I need it to progress.
In Tokyo (when she reached the quarter finals) I really played well.
I feel that I am coming back and that I am able to get even better but to
achieve this I have to work hard. I hope that I will also gain confidence by
playing more and more.
Q:You no longer have a coach with you, how do you experience this?
A:It's OK. At the beginning of my career, I didn't have any coach and I was
only with my mother so that's not much of a change. I feel free and I can do
whatever I want. But I am young and I have a great deal of things to learn so
obviously I am going to look for someone. I can hardly do without a coach.
Q:You will meet Golovin in the next round, what do you think about that?
A:She's a very good player so it will be a difficult game. She's young but
today there are a lot of very young players who are extremely talented, they
have nothing to loose, they just want to play and have eveything to win in
these games. I played against Sharapova in Tokyo and Golovin is a somehow
the same. With all these girls, I feel older everytime (laughs).
Today I still was the youngest but that tends to happens less and less often.
