ASB Tennis Classic defending champion Katarina Srebotnik is hoping her form in practice will transfer to the tournament court next week.

The Slovenian has arrived in Auckland early, to acclimatise and put some final touches to her game.

She says she has trained well, but says she knows that will count for nothing on a bad day.

Srebotnik says the field looks stronger than those she conquered earlier in the year.
