The 2012 Australian Open draw has provided us with a tantalising fourth round clash between last year’s finalists Kim Clijsters and Na Li, and it looks like the reigning champion is excited about the prospect of a rematch.

“In a way it's going to be nice to play Li Na, to have the final from last year, because it was such a great match for both of us to be a part of,” said Clijsters in a recent interview. “So it would be nice to play against each other again. In a Grand Slam, you know, every draw is tough.”

“You're going to be in a situation where you're going to be in the fourth round and it's always going to be tough in the fourth round. You have some tough players out there,” continued the former world No. 1.

Clijsters also pointed out that she’s keen to improve her tennis, despite this being her last season in the game. “I still believe that I can improve. I would like to improve every day. That's one of the main reasons why I decided to put Carl [Maes - her coach] on board again. Look at Nadal, Federer - you can always improve. You can always become better.”

“You can always work out harder in the gym and work out differently. Yeah, you just learn yourself better and better, and more about yourself, and then you keep improving.”
