Inside the Tour with Nina and Irina — Special guest Daniela Hantuchova

September 04, 2018

"It's beautiful when you close one door how many new ones open up."

Recently retired former world No. 5 Daniela Hantuchova joins the podcast while in New York for the US Open. She's transitioned quickly from her retirement last summer to a broadcast and reporting career. The 34-year-old's newest project is Downtown Dani, a series with Tennis Channel where she talks fashion, food and off-court trends with the tour's biggest stars.

The two-time US Open quarterfinalist also shares her experiences from her career including her love for Indian Wells (where she won twice), winning the Fed Cup title for Slovakia in 2002, her best US Open match and winning a career mixed doubles Grand Slam.

You'll also hear her take on being a female broadcaster in a male dominated field, the modern player's social media obsession and how she balanced her interests in modeling and fashion with her playing career.
