INDIAN WELLS, CA, USA - Indian Wells has been the stage for some of Daniela Hantuchova's most glorious moments, so is there really anywhere better for the Slovak No.1 to do the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Blog from?

Today was a perfect day...
I had a very good hit at the La Quinta resort, then I had a golfing afternoon. We only had time to play nine holes but it was awesome. Really awesome. Me and my team, my family is here too... I won! It was fun but I might have gotten a little competitive :) I won a dinner, I'll wait to claim it though. I've attached a photo I took of the course... The course is unreal, it's almost like a postcard. Snow on the mountain tops, beautiful flowers and palms on the ground...
After golf I went to the gym for a workout, then it was off to the player party. It was right here, so nobody had to go far. It was convenient for everyone so lots of players came, which was great. We drove in with a really old style car and there was a very interesting dog on a skateboard... I'm not sure who he was but he's probably famous if he's doing that! He was going around the party on it, between the people... Anyway, the food was great and the whole clubhouse is very nice. They just rebuilt the whole thing and it's nice the party was there. I hope it will be held there for many years to come. The tournament did an excellent job with the party, and they've done an excellent job in general, really. This is one of the most popular tournaments among the players. Everyone loves coming back.
Now some questions then off to bed... talk to you tomorrow!

Besides tennis what is your favorite thing to do? Sasko
If it had to be a sport, probably skiing or golf. If not a sport, probably something to do with fashion... more along the lines of designing.
What is it about Indian Wells that brings you such success? Sandra
Waking up here, you already want to do so much. It's such a relaxing place so it's easy to be really focused and work hard. Also the courts really suit me, the fans are always so nice... It's just a beautiful place.
It's nice to see that you are close with your mother. Does she also like playing tennis or does she prefer supporting you? Andrew, Toronto
She loves playing tennis! She is also very supportive. When she was young she was an ice skater, so she knows what it takes to do well... and she has been the biggest support for me, for sure. Unfortunately we don't play tennis much, but I think she understands I'm here to play the tournament. Sometimes we do play, but not during tournaments :)
