Cibulkova on losing early to Stosur in Sydney: "I took this tournament as a good start for the Australian acclimatization. The Australian Open is the priority. In the past, I have battled all the way to the final in Sydney and then lost in just the second round in Melbourne, while I have also lost early in Sydney and then played great in Melbourne. I have achieved my best Grand Slam result at the Australian Open (SF 2014) and and I always look forward to it. Last year I lost 2 & 2 to Kanepi, but I was sick that day and wanted to respect my opponent. I believe it will be different this year. I want to go to the court and show my best tennis." Cibulkova is 5-0 vs. R1 opponent Shuai Zhang.
