"I don't think tennis is all about power," Hantuchova said, commenting on her opponent's skills. "The Williams sisters dominate because they are very powerful, but there are also other ways to win tennis matches.
"I think Conchita just showed it very clearly. Today she just moved me around the court very well. That's how you can win a match too," she said.
Martinez's passive game hasn't made much impact against Williams, however. In four previous encounters, Williams has never lost to the Spaniard.
"I don't think she has many weak spots," Martinez said. "She hits the ball well from everywhere. It'll just be fight and run."
