SOUNDBITE: (English) Novak Djokovic:

"I realised my dreams (here) last year. I played a perfect tournament and I like the conditions here. I've been on several occasions in semi-finals so I'm confident before the start of 2012."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Petra Kvitova:

"Yes I think that I'm trying to not think about defending the title here but I'm sure that it will come into my mind when I step onto the court. Yes my preparations haven't gone very well. We would like to have had the same schedule as last year but I lost too early in Eastbourne but I practised here a few days more and I feel very well and I can't wait to step on the court again."
