Great job from the tournament organizers of the Brisbane International as 8 Slam Champions will form the line-up in both the ATP and the WTA events.
Of course the big highlight is Federer’s comeback, but Roger will not be the only star. In fact, we will have also Del Potro, Cilic, Hewitt, Sharapova, Ivanovic, Stosur and Azarenka. In addition to these Slam Champions Brisbane international will also be blessed by the participation of Nishikori, Dimitrov and Raonic.
From the Organization
Tournament Director Cameron Pearson commented “We’re thrilled with the calibre of the fields we have assembled for this summer’s event, the tournament continues to grow each year and 2015 is shaping up as one of our best yet
“It’s fantastic to welcome Roger Federer back to Brisbane as well as our men’s defending champion Lleyton Hewitt, newly-crowned Grand Slam champion Marin Cilic and crowd favourites Grigor Dimitrov and Bernard Tomic.
To have eight Grand Slam champions, five of the world’s top 11 men – as well as Juan Martin del Potro with an injury protected ranking of No.7 – and four of the top 10 women commit to Brisbane is a fantastic result, and certainly highlights the players’ regard for the tournament.”
Defending Champions
Last year’s champions were Hewitt (d. Federer) and Serena Williams (d. Azarenka).
The tournament will start the 4th of January and we are looking forward to it.
