Daniela Hantuchova Playing Quotations

So many times in my matches, especially when I was coming up and I was really, really young and not having the experience, I was sometimes beating myself and not really playing the opponent.

She came out playing unbelievable. I don?t think there was much I could have done about that.

She proved she really deserves to be one of the best players in the world. She's just playing unbelievable tennis.

I was playing well in the first set, then for some reason I decided to make it difficult for myself in the second set. I was able to get back in form and win it. The conditions were very hot but it was the same for both of us.

I've been playing really well the whole summer and it's very satisfying to start a tournament like this, ... I missed a few opportunities early in the first set but I just kept going for my shots and tried to stay calm and believe in what I was doing. She serves hard but I felt I was in control and it was just a matter of time.

It was a great time here in the States this year, and definitely I feel like I'm playing well again. I gained a lot of confidence in the last couple of weeks, and I just have to, you know, keep going and keep the momentum now.

Im really pleased with my week so far, ... Its nice to do well here again. I think todays match was closer than the score reflected. Theres no special secret to how Im playing at the moment, Im just making sure Im doing the right things at the right time now.
