Kvitova, who also triumphed at the season-ending WTA Championships in October, said she was excited about making her debut at the Apia International Sydney. “I’m really looking forward to playing there for the first time,” Kvitova said. “I’ve never been to Sydney before and everyone tells me it is such a beautiful city so I can’t wait to get there and see the harbour and the stunning beaches. “I have had some great results in Australia over the years winning in Hobart and Brisbane, so hopefully 2012 will be my year to win the title in Sydney. “The Sydney event is really tough and most of the top girls play there each year so it is a great opportunity to get some good matches in before the Australian Open. “I really see the event as the perfect preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year and I really want to win my first WTA Premier title of the season there.” Tournament Director Craig Watson emphasised the strength of the women’s field at the Apia International Sydney, which is set to get underway on Sunday 8 January at Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre.
