WIMBLEDON 2006 - Justine's Patience
03/07/2006:

Justine is set to play talented elegant Daniela Hantuchova (WTA #18) on
center court today at 13:00 hrs. This will be their fifth meeting, but first
since 2002. In a direct contrast to their perceived public persona Justine is
in the patience state of mind, while Daniela is impatient about the 4th round
match.

Justine and Daniela Hantuchova will play for a berth to the quarterfinalsat
13:00 hrs (UK) on center court today. In their career head to head, they have
split victoires - two each. The four meetings have taken place in
Hantuchova's best career season 2002, a year in which she won her first Tier
I defeating Justine along the way in the 4th rd at Indian Wells, and Martina
Hingis in the final. The year 2002 was also the Slovakian's best showing at
Wimbledon by reaching the quarterfinal stage.

Hantuchova had a career high ranking at WTA #5 on January 27 2003, but failed
to keep up her level for the next two years with pressure expectations,
impatience for tennis success, and the pursuit of popular outside activties
of modelling. Daniela has slowly risen back up in the rankings from her WTA
#31 ranking in 2004 to her current WTA #18 ranking this season.

Justine is taking her Wimbledon matches one day at a time. No forward
guessing in a draw that's metamorphosing everyday.
"You know, I just go match after match. I don't see it as the big opportunity
here. I just try to do my job the best I can. I enjoy my game a lot right
now, so it's great. I'm happy to be on the court healthy. I'm in the fourth
round here, so that's a good step. But next match is going to be my next
goal, and that's it. I don't want to look too far. It's a bit disappointed
for you guys when I say that, but that's the way I feel right now. That's the
way I have to think in the next few day."

Daniela is feeling eager about the fourth round match.
"You know, I'm just really, really happy to be in the second week. Definitely
a match that I really look forward to, to play. You know, she's a great
champion. I have a lot of respect for the way she plays. So it's going to be
an exciting match for me, and I can't wait to be out there again."

Justine views a career as something that takes patience, and time.
"It takes a little bit of time 'cause when you're so young, it's a lot of
things. And you need to learn a lot of things not only on the court, but off
court also. And you need to get some experience. I think that happens to a
lot of players. That's pretty normal. And I always had the feeling it was
better this way 'cause it didn't go too fast for me. I just took my time. I'm
still only 24 right now. A couple of good successes, so that's very good."
