Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Dominika Cibulkova, 11th seed:
(On getting through a tight match in the third set)
"Yeah, today was extremely, extremely good match from my side. I would say it was a high level of tennis. The first set, the way I played, was just really, really -- no mistakes. I was going for my shots and I was just doing the right things. I was really putting her under so much pressure. And then -- then she stepped up in the second set much more. She started to serve better and return better. So she kept me out of the -- more behind the baseline. Then in the third set I just knew I have to go for it more than hundred percent. I knew I have to be much more aggressive and just stay there and to go for my shots. So, yeah, today was really, really tough one, but I managed to get through. It was such a good match."

SOUNDBITE (English) Victoria Azarenka, two-time Australian Open winner:
(On her performance in the Australian Open after coming back from injury)
"I take it as a progress. I think there are a lot of the positive things to take from here. It's a good start. There was some good quality of tennis today, even though the result is not the one that I wanted and not what I was looking for. But I need to be realistic a little bit and keep working hard and try to sharpen my game."

SOUNDBITE (English) Victoria Azarenka, two-time Australian Open winner:
(On Dominika Cibulkova)
"She really went for her shots today and was very fearless throughout whole match. She's the type of player that sometimes you just get -- she gets in that groove and it's a little bit difficult to break that rhythm. But I think I still had my opportunities, and I really just didn't -- I wasn't present enough today, and she was there. She jumped on those opportunities and really took control of that. So I think in that aspect, I have to give her a lot of credit."
