About the Tournament

The Brisbane International is one of the most anticipated events on the professional tennis calendar. As a combined men’s and women’s tournament, it marks the thrilling return of world-class tennis at the start of every new year.

History and First Tournament

The tournament was officially founded and first held in January 2009. It was established by Tennis Australia to replace the long-standing men’s tournament in Adelaide and the women’s event in the Gold Coast, successfully bringing elite, unified tennis action back to the state of Queensland. Since its inception, the event has been staged on the state-of-the-art outdoor hard courts of the Queensland Tennis Centre, with the iconic Pat Rafter Arena serving as its centerpiece. Over the years, it has crowned legendary champions such as Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Andy Murray, and Aryna Sabalenka.

ATP and WTA Categories

The Brisbane International features highly competitive draws, operating under different tiers for the men’s and women’s circuits.

WTA Tour: Classified as a WTA 500 event, drawing a massive 48-player singles field that regularly includes multiple top-10 players.

ATP Tour: Classified as an ATP 250 tournament, featuring a fierce 32-player singles draw.

Calendar Position and Relationship with the Australian Open

In terms of the tennis calendar, the Brisbane International occupies a premium slot in the first week of January, serving as a core component of the “Australian Summer of Tennis”.

The tournament shares a vital relationship with the Australian Open—the year’s first Grand Slam. Because it uses the exact same outdoor hard-court surface and experiences identical scorching summer weather conditions as Melbourne Park, Brisbane acts as the ultimate preparatory testing ground. Top players flock to Brisbane not just for the prestigious title and generous prize money, but to shake off the off-season rust, test their fitness, and gain crucial momentum right before heading to the Australian Open.
