Q. What do you think of her (Laura Robson)?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Uhm, yeah, obviously she's got talent. I mean, she seems
like a very nice girl. You know, it's important now that she has the right
people around her.
You know, it's still a long way for her to go. But definitely she's got a
potential. And it's important she just keeps working, you know, on the right
things and goes the right direction.
Q. What particularly impressed you about her today?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: I thought ? well, obviously because she's left handed it
makes it a bit tougher, but her serve is very good. You know, she was hitting
couple of aces a game, and also she was very smart how she was using it. So I
think the serve was working very well for her.
And, you know, I mean, obviously she still has many things to improve, but I
think she's on the right way, for sure.
Q. It was a tough situation for her, but potentially a tough situation for you
as well, wasn't it?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Yeah, definitely. It was so tough. I just tried to, you
know, keep focused and think about my game. But obviously, you know, it didn't
feel very good being a set down and a couple games down and getting kicked by,
you know, a girl 11 years younger than me, so...
I just tried to make sure that whatever happens, I win this match somehow
(smiling).
Q. Did you think she was going to beat you at one point?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: No, I never go on the court thinking the other is going to
beat you.
Q. During the game?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: No. I always believe in myself. Yeah, I mean, if I go on
the court not believing in myself, I think I shouldn't be there.
Q. I wanted to ask how you felt last night? I mean, she's obviously never
played a women's tournament here. Did you feel quite confident? She's only 15.
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Absolutely not. Actually, last night I was very relaxed. I
was thinking more about, you know, first round of a Grand Slam than actually
who I was playing.
I think, you know, doesn't matter if it's No. 1 in the world on the other side
or somebody 15 years old. I think I still had to go out there, do my things
right and correct, and just focus on my game.
I've said this many times: with my kind of game I play, I think it's most of
the time about me. If I did the right things, I think I can beat anybody. If I
play badly, I can lose to anyone.
I was more concerned about what I was gonna do on the court.
Q. What did you think of the atmosphere of the court?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Yeah, it's very nice, actually. I really enjoyed it. Of
course, I mean, they told me it's like 4,000 people, but it doesn't feel like
that at all.
Yeah, the atmosphere was very nice. Actually, I thought the crowd was pretty
fair. I mean, obviously they were rooting for her, but it was nothing beyond
fair play. So, you know, they were very kind.
I guess, you know, all the years I've played here, you know, I deserved also
a little support. It was very nice to play there.
Q. You seemed to be taking a lot of time between points, particularly in the
third set. Was that a deliberate tactic?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: No, I think I do that all the time. If you've seen me, all
my matches during my career, you know, some people, they like to play point by
point with a fast rhythm. Some people like to take more time.
Probably because I think so much on the court. Sometimes I have to make my mind
clear before I play every point, and I don't want to start before I'm not ready.
Q. Can you remember what you were like as a 15 year old ?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Actually, she reminded me a lot of myself. You know, she's
got a great feel in the hands. She's not afraid to do whatever she feels like
on the court.
Obviously, now it's much easier for her because, you know, she has nothing to
lose and she can just swing at the ball. So I was thinking, gosh, that felt so
good when I was at her age (smiling).
Yeah, at some points of the match, I was like, Oh, I think I'm playing myself.
So, yeah, it was nice to see.
Q. How do you think you would have coped with the situation at 15, playing in
a match like that?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Probably the same (laughter). You know, you don't have the
experience. Sometimes maybe not go for crazy shots at important points, just
trying to be patient.
But it's so tough to think like that when you are that young. You think more
about how to hit the shot, that it feels good to be on the court and going for
it. Yeah, sometimes you got to be patient, but I think that just comes with
age.
Q. What age did you start to feel the pressure?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: I think once I came up after winning Indian Wells and
having that great year. You know, it's always easy to play when nobody knows
you. Also today it took me a while to get used to her game. I never seen her
before.
So the first year to come up, it's always，it's not easy, of course. It's
tough, but then to stay there, that's the tough part.
Q. Was it strange seeing Nigel up in the other player's box?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: I haven't even seen him. He was there?
Q. He was there.
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: No, sorry, I didn't see him.
Q. Have you spoken to him about Laura?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: No, not at all. I haven't seen him here, so no.
Q. Did you change your coach, Larri Passos?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Yeah, a while ago.
Q. Why did you choose him?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Obviously, he had the experience. He worked with Guga.
Brought him to No. 1 in the world. There's something he can bring into my game.
He's a fighter. He has an upbeat spirit. Very positive person. Very nice to be
around him.
Q. How far do you think you can go?
DANIELA HANTUCHOVA: Oh, gosh, I just try to take it one match at a time, not to
look too ahead of myself, give my best in the next match.
I think if I play Zheng, it's going to be tough. She made semi-finals here last
year. Again, I got to be ready, think of my game, do the right things, and
we'll see.
韓娃換教練了，不知道她有沒有換訓練場地?
