[Star Wars] Although Count Dooku had turned to the dark side, did he actually want to kill Yoda?

It seems to me neither man wanted to kill the other in their fight.

Dooku still had great respect for Yoda, but ultimately he is a Sith Lord, and he would have killed Yoda in a heartbeat had he had the chance. However above all else, Dooku was practical, he knew he couldn't beat him in a lightsaber duel at that time, and though he tried to use Force powers to fight him, Yoda was able to counter him. He knew time was running out, especially with more troops coming, and he needed to make his escape, so he did something to distract him. But given the chance, he would have killed him.
