March 13, 2004 Daniela Hantuchova M. IRVIN/D. Hantuchova 6-4, 6-7, 7-5 Q. You were struggling the whole match, yet you were close to winning. Explain what happened today. DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: I mean, it's just a tennis match. I mean, I'm proud that I give everything I had. And, yes, I was not playing my best today. But I was pleased with myself that I kept fighting till the end. It almost paid off. There were a couple of points that turned the match around in the tiebreak in the third set. That made the difference. I think Marissa played a good match. You know, I just kept fighting, and it was a very close match today. Q. Were you okay out there? You had the trainer. DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Yeah, I had some stomach problems. I don't know. I think maybe I drunk a little too much or haven't eaten the right thing before the match. I was, you know, very hot out there. I had some problems at the end of the second set. But, you know, I was really glad that I got through that one. Then, you know, I just kept fighting until the end. Q. Although it's just a tennis match, how are you feeling after this? How are you taking it? DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Just like a tennis match. I mean, there are still many things I have to work on. I just have to move on and forget about it as soon as I can and look forward for the next tournament. Q. It appeared to be a sloppy match on your part. DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: I wouldn't say sloppy match. I haven't played for a couple of weeks. It's always hard, you know, to come back and play your first match, especially against somebody that has already played pretty much here before. So I was expecting a tough match, and it was. You know, I didn't play as well as I did in the practice, but still I think it was a good match. Q. How are things going being back with Nigel? DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: I think it's great. You know, I think it was good for both us to take a little bit of break, but I'm excited to be working with him again and looking forward for our work together in the future. And hopefully we will get -- we both will get where we want to be. Q. You rang him, didn't you? You went to Australia with somebody else. DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Yes, I went to Australia with Harold Solomon, who is also a very experienced guy. It just sort of didn't work the way I wanted to. And I felt like -- I took a little bit of a break after tournament in Paris, thought about things. I felt like, you know, last year was a very tough one for me, but, you know, I still thought that I have a great team around me, and I didn't want to change anything about it. I wanted to get back with the people I worked with. Q. You had a good 2002, not a good 2003. Is this a very important year to show which player you are? DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Yeah, definitely I'm looking forward for this year. Last year was a very tough one. But I think I have learned a lot, and at the end the make me a lot stronger, not only as a player but as a person, too. Showed me that there are many more important things in life than tennis. You know, it showed me that this is really what I want to do, even though the times were very tough for me. But, you know, I still love playing tennis, and I'm really glad to be here. Q. So how do you dedicate your focus to this year? What are you doing special? DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: I just have to keep working hard, as I always did. And now I think it's just a matter of playing as much as I can. You know, I'm really glad that I'm healthy and not having any injuries at the moment. So I just have to, you know, keep working hard and try to do my best in the matches, and hopefully the results will come. 好犀利的問題..... 不過韓娃回答得都還不錯... 韓娃的胃在第二盤出了問題呀?? 好好休息...調養一下.... 下個賽事再加油吧^^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.73.245.214
