"It is very nice to return to the court where I won my first ATP tournament in 1999,'' said the 24-year-old.
"I am feeling optimistic and have overcome a few muscle strains. I have been able to train without problems in the last few weeks and I am feeling fine.
"It is always special when I come back here.
"Above all, you can hear the ball resound after it has been hit on this court, although it may be difficult to with the stadium full.''
Mallorcan Carlos Moya has picked up four main tour titles playing in front of his home fans and is expecting an exciting spectacle.
"Holland has two players in the first 20 in the world and they can win against anybody,'' the 27-year-old commented.
"But for me, I know this court very well and have enjoyed a lot of success here."
