Two-time Grand Slam champion Petra Kvitova and fellow Czech Karolina Pliskova spoke with Robbie Greenfield of Dubai Eye 103.8 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships ahead of their main draw campaigns this week.

Kvitova, who lifted the Dubai trophy in 2013, is seeded no. 2 at this year’s event. After receiving a first-round bye, she awaits the winner between Petra Martic and Katerina Siniakova.

“Every year it’s a really tough field,” said Kvitova, who is among nine of the Top 10 WTA players represented in the stellar main draw. “We see the best players in the world playing here.”
