Novak Djokovic has confirmed his participation in the upcoming Brisbane International, running from December 29 to January 5. The Serbian star, aiming for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, headlines a competitive field featuring Nick Kyrgios, Grigor Dimitrov, Holger Rune, and more.
Following a challenging 2024 season without a major title, Djokovic will look to build momentum for the Australian Open, where he hopes to surpass Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles. The Brisbane tournament marks the beginning of his quest to reclaim dominance in 2025.
Meanwhile, Bernard Tomic, ranked 214th after a remarkable resurgence, is training on the Gold Coast in preparation for Australian Open qualifying. Former top Australian player John Millman commended Tomic’s dedication in rebuilding his career through low-level tournaments across the globe.
In Melbourne, Nick Kyrgios is set to return to action using his ATP protected ranking of 21, avoiding the need for a wildcard entry. The Australian Open begins on January 12, with local and international stars gearing up for a highly anticipated tennis season.
