Intro:

Players get ready for Fed Cup final in Prague.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Petra Kvitova, Czech Republic

"Well we are not thinking about the German team. We know they are very strong and they can play great tennis but we are focusing on ourselves and and that's what I think is the key of the weekend. I mean we have a great team and we have great players and we always know what is inside of us and we will show everything that we can in the moment."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lucie Safarova, Czech Republic

"Well, yes, we are confident. Playing at home helps and we have a sold out arena for the weekend again and I remember two years ago it was huge support from the fans and it helps a lot so I hope it will bring us a lot of energy and a win."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Angelique Kerber, Germany (is there pressure on Germany as this will be their first final in 22years?)

"Yes, of course, the pressure is there but I think for the Czechs also. They are playing here at home and the crowd it's, of course, also cheering more for the Czech team but I think a lot of fans are coming from Germany to support us and that means a lot to all of us."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Andrea Petkovic, Germany (is she more confident after her victory in Sofia last weekend?)

"Yes, it makes me very confident, especially I had a couple of tough weeks and I was very down and I was getting very down on myself as well and I had some troubles so coming in with a win is just so reassuring for me and I feel much more confident in myself. I am a little tired but, you know, I think once I go out there I won't feel anything anymore and so having this confidence is really gold."
