Hantuchova Edges Past Rus In Luxembourg
October 17, 2012
LUXEMBOURG, Luxembourg - Daniela Hantuchova may be appearing at the BGL BNP
Paribas Luxembourg Open for a 10th time this year, but for the first set and
a half of her opening round match on Wednesday she looked like a wide-eyed
debutante.
Recent months have not been easy for Hantuchova, with the past five
tournaments bringing a solitary victory, and when she dropped a one-sided
opening set to Arantxa Rus, this dismal run looked all set to continue. But,
then, just as time appeared to be running out, the Slovak conjured up the
most remarkable of turnarounds.
Serving at 15-40, 4-4, Hantuchova reeled off eight of the next nine points to
snatch the set and with it all the momentum. From that point on, the result
was never in doubt as a shell-shocked Rus was powerless to stop Hantuchova
wrapping up a 36 64 61 victory.
"I made it a little bit difficult for myself today, but I'm happy with the
way I kept fighting and eventually turned it around," Hanutchova said. "I was
making way too many errors at the beginning, rushing and going for winners I
shouldn't really have gone for.
"Once I found my rhythm in the second set, I was slowly getting on top of her
and I did well to win that game at 4-4. In the third set I was playing my
best tennis finally and really starting to dominate."
Meeting Hantuchova for a place in the last eight will be in-form Kirsten
Flipkens. After troubled first half of 2012, Flipkens has been playing the
best tennis of her career over the past few months and Hantuchova is well
aware of the danger she poses.
"She played very well last week and also in Québec City before that,"
Hantuchova added. "I think indoors suits her game - she has got very good
hands and is very talented - and it's going to be a very good test that I'm
looking forward to."
