Tennis authorities in the state of Queensland are ecstatic as they are set to the ATP 250 and WTA 500 event Brisbane International in 2024.
The development was announced on the ATP’s official website a couple of days back as the tournaments will be played from December 31, 2023 to January 07, 2024.
The prize money of AU$3.1 million will be distributed amongst the 180 top players participating in the event.
The competition will serve as a perfect opportunity for the players to prepare for the first Grand Slam of the year. The Australian Open 2024 is set to be played from 15 to 28 January, 2024 in Melbourne.
Tennis authorities in Queensland were thrilled to announce the return of the competition.
“We are delighted to welcome the Brisbane International back, bigger and better than ever in 2024,” said Brisbane International Tournament Director Cam Pearson. “We know how much the players love playing the Brisbane International and starting the season in Queensland.
“Fans can look forward to eight days of high-quality international tennis, an expanded women’s draw, and 180 of the world’s best players competing for a big prize pool. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
State’s Tourism and Sport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe shared similar sentiments in a statement.
“It’s terrific to see the much-anticipated return of the Brisbane International tournament to reignite Australia’s summer of tennis,” he said. “Tennis fans love this blockbuster event, as much as the players love playing at Pat Rafter Arena.
“The event will also serve up a win for good Queensland jobs, with thousands of fans travelling to Brisbane from interstate and contributing AU$10 million to the visitor economy. This summer of tennis promises to be a winner for tennis fans and for Queensland.”
Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner believes that the return of the competition is like hosting a ‘Grand Slam’ in the city.
“We are thrilled to welcome back the Brisbane International 2024 to the Queensland Tennis Centre this summer,” he said. “Brisbane is set to come alive on and off the court as fans flock to watch this blockbuster sporting event featuring the world’s best players.
“With the tournament kicking off Australia’s summer of tennis, the eight days of action will inject millions into Brisbane’s local economy with hospitality, tourism and accommodation providers feeling the love from tennis fans across the nation.”
