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.”
