We have a very good participation at the upcoming Australian Open!
In the men’s draw the last acceptance is world no.103 Go Soeda. The only top 100 player that won’t be able to play is Viktor Troicki that is serving a ban for doping.
On the women’s side we also have a very strong field with world no. 107 Petra Martic being the last accepted player. We are going to miss Maria Kirilenko (ankle injury) and Marion Bartoli (that has retired and will be removed from the rankings from January the 1st).
From the organisation
The tournament director Craig Tiley commented: “Once again we have an incredibly strong field coming to Melbourne to contest the Australian Open in 2014, proof that this is one of the players’ favourite events and how much the title means to them.”
