Caroline Wozniacki was in a feisty mood ahead of the Australian Open despite her poor start to 2011.
Wozniacki may be top seed for the tournament but after a dismal start to the year, many are predicting an early exit for the Dane in Melbourne. She has never been past the fourth round down under, losing last year in straight sets to Na Li.
Last week in Sydney she crashed out in her opening match, to Dominika Cibulkova but she brushed off any suggestions that it may have dented her confidence.
"Actually, it didn't really affect me," she said. "I just played some practice sets, practice matches instead. I'm feeling good to go, feeling in good shape. So everything is good.”
"I don't feel I need to prove anything to anybody. You don't become No.1 winning small tournaments or doing bad results. You know, I'm a good player. I've done great results. I won six tournaments last year. I don't have to prove anything. I had a great year last year and finished No.1, so I'm really happy about that. Going into this tournament as the No.1, it's a good feeling."
