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?

What can I say... it was a tough loss today. During my warm-up in the afternoon I injured my back a little bit and had an hour of work done on it before the match, taping it up... it didn't feel right. It was windy and quite cold, not the best conditions for an injury, but it was the same for both of us, and that doesn't take anything away from the fact Roberta played well. And she played really well. That's tennis: one day everything goes your way, the next it's just not your day.
I had my chances in the second set. I was down 63 30 and almost got it back to a tie-break in the second set... Even though it wasn't easy, I kept believing until the end. It almost worked out, just a few balls here and there. The crowd was trying to pull me through it, which I appreciate a lot, because I think it was so cold that everyone probably just wanted to go home!
I'll get some treatment on it over the next few days, take it easy and try to recover as fast as I can. It's all about getting it right and healthy now.
I'll be here tomorrow and will talk to you all then :)

Do you still have time to play the piano? Mikko, Finland
Right now I don't have too much time to play, but whenever I can I do. I like playing songs I hear on the radio... When I was younger I attended music school for eight years and was playing more classical, like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach... it was nice because it was very challenging. It taught me a lot.
If you could play doubles with anyone in history, who would it be? Tom
In history... wow, that's a tough one. Gotta be Roger or Rafa. I'd ask them but I think they are way too focused on their singles. They do play best of five!
