Nadia Petrova is the latest star signing to confirm she will begin the 2010 season at the Brisbane International this January.
The top 20 player will join a very strong women’s line-up playing alongside Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters, Ana Ivanovic, Dinara Safina, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Jelena Dokic in what is shaping up to be a blockbuster event.
Announcing her attendance today, Petrova said she was looking forward to experiencing her first Brisbane International.
“I am so excited to be travelling to Brisbane for the first time. I have played on the Gold Coast five times and I loved the weather, the atmosphere and the culture in Queensland. It is a great time to be in Australia,” Petrova said.
“I cannot wait to see this new event and experience the facilities and courts, which I am told are very similar to those at the Australian Open.
“My aim in January is to get some tough match play in the lead up to the Australian Open and the Brisbane International is going to be ideal for that.
“I am also hoping I will also get the opportunity to see some of the many sights that Brisbane has to offer when I am not on court.”
