These are the best on-court photos I've seen of Daniela this year.
Her legs look their best ever, if I may say so, and I'm not even a
leg-man! ;-)

First round (Tuesday 16th May)
-----------
- DANIELA HANTUCHOVÁ [13] lt. Samantha Stosur, 6-2 1-6 6-3
This was a tough draw for Daniela, as Stosur had been runner-up (to
Shahar Peer) at Prague the previous week. Stosur is a serve-and-
volley player who can play blindingly well at times, as I saw for
one set against Maria Sharapova at Birmingham 2005.
Daniela missed out on a mouthwatering third-round match with Vera
Zvonarëva, as did Stosur who lost in the second round 6-2 6-2 to
world #133 Romina Oprandi - a player I've barely even /heard/ of.

1r bye
2r + Mara Santangelo/Mashona Washington, 6-2 6-1
qf + Li,Ting/Sun,Tiantian, 6-4 6-1
sf + CARA BLACK/RENNAE STUBBS [2], 6-4 6-0
f + KVETA PESCHKE/FRANCESCA SCHIAVONE [8], 3-6 6-3 6-1
What a victory in the semi-finals! :-)
Congratulations Daniela on your 8th WTA doubles-title. Let's
transfer some of that form to singles!
I read on WTAworld.com that Jordi Campos is Daniela's new coach. On
her wtatour.com profile, however, it says "Not currently working
with one coach but travels with various coaches from the
Casal/Sánchez Academy in Barcelona".
