Hantuchova earns rematch with Clijsters
FILDERSTADT, Germany, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Daniela Hantuchova defeated
American qualifier Lisa Raymond 6-3 6-4 at the Filderstadt Grand Prix
on Tuesday to set up a second round showdown with top seed and defend
ing champion Kim Clijsters.
The world number 13 from Slovakia managed to raise her level of play
against the doubles specialist when it counted, including staving off
two break points at 3-3 in the first set, and clinched victory with a
single break of serve in each set.
"I was very pleased with the way I played today because Lisa is very
tough to play indoors," said Hantuchova, who lost to Clijsters in last
year's final.
"I think what made the difference was that I just kept fighting even
though I was down on my service games.
"(But) there are still many things that I have to improve and against
Kim I (will) have to step up and raise my level.
"For a second round it's pretty tough to play the opponent I had in
the final last year but I'm looking forward to the match.
"I've got nothing to lose and I'll just try to do my best and see what
happens."
Mary Pierce booked a meeting with fourth seed Jennifer Capriati in the
next round after overwhelming Zimbabwean qualifier Cara Black 6-2 6-0.
