Daniela Hantuchova's own desert storm

Daniela Hantuchova made her presence felt in the desert recently. In Dubai, she was stopped only in the quarter finals by Amelie Mauresmo 6-3 3-6 6-4. In Qatar Friday, she lost in the semifinals 6-4 6-2 to Svetlana Kuznetsova. During both tournaments, she ousted some formidable players. Please click on any one of the images below for what I though an interesting photo account of Daniela's play (they open to the same page.) Justine Henin defeated Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4 6-2 in the finals today.
