Hantuchová was born in Poprad, Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia) to father Igor, a computer scientist and mother Marianna, a toxicologist.Her tour debut and early results were auspicious. Her performance temporarily dipped, as a result of her parents splitting up in 2003.[5] For example, despite being seeded ninth at Wimbledon that year, she lost to the 81st ranked player in the world, failing to convert match points and weeping on court. She lost weight and was then suspected to be anorexic.
Hantuchová speaks six languages and was trained as a classical pianist.She is thought to be a perfectionist and places a lot of pressure on herself during her training.She qualified for university in Slovakia but deferred it to pursue tennis.
She appeared in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition alongside Maria Kirilenko and Tatiana Golovin in a pictoral entitled Volley of the Dolls.
