“I’ve heard many good things about the tournament and the city.”
“I hope we can do well, and in the remainder of the Australian season,” she said.
Tournament Director Paul McNamee was thrilled "We are expecting next year’s Hyundai Hopman Cup to be one of the best in history. We are thrilled to have French Open champion Li Na of China competing for the first time and this will make the event even more attractive to the huge Asian audience.

Added to that we have Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova and 2010 finalist Tomas Berdych to make the line-up so far one of the most exciting we have ever had. Perth fans and our television audience around the world are in for a treat.
