Anna sets up meeting with Wozniacki in Dubai
15th February 2011
The tennis wasn't pretty as Anna's opponent Daniela Hantuchova was struggling throughout the match but Anna prevailed with a 6-1 6-3 win to extend her record against the Slovak to 5-2.

After the match, Anna said: "I guess Daniela just came from Asia and didn't have enough time to adapt to the jet lag and everything. I was trying my best today. I actually thought I wouldn't have a lot of chances to win, but it's a very big tournament and I really wanted to, so I was trying my best and it was working. I'm pretty confident. I think I'm going in the right direction. At least now I feel I'm playing tennis. A year ago it was something different. I don't want to expect too much, I just want to enjoy practicing, then enjoy the matches and try to win. I don't want to put pressure on myself. It's the beginning of a new career for me. I don't think about three years ago. Of course it gave me some experience, but it will also put more pressure on me."

On Wednesday at 19.00 local time, Anna will play No.1 seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark.  Wozniacki leads the series 3-0 but each of the 3 matches on hardcourts have gone the distance.

Maybe she put too much pressure on herself, which helped me."
