Tournament Director Steve Ayles said today, “We are very excited to be bringing international tennis back to the people of Queensland, and giving them the opportunity to see some of the best tennis players in the world for just $9.90.

“The ground pass, which is available for each day of the event, gives access to two undercover show courts and all the outdoor courts, as well as a carnival atmosphere and fun, family entertainment.

“We have already announced three of the biggest stars of the game, all 2008 Australian Open finalists – champion Novak Djokovic and runners up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Ana Ivanovic – will headline the event, and we are looking forward to more top player announcements over the next few weeks.

Tickets go on sale through Ticketek on Thursday October 9, with single session tickets for centre-court starting at just $24.90.

“The Brisbane International, the first event at the amazing new State Tennis Centre, will put Brisbane on the map of the world’s sporting calendar in January,” Ayles said. “And the $9.90 ground pass gives everyone the chance to be part of the action.”

The Brisbane International will take place at the State Tennis Centre in Tennyson from Sunday 4 January to Sunday 11 January.
