The Tournament:
The Brisbane International presented by Suncorp, held 1-8 January 2017, is located at the Queensland Tennis Centre in close proximity to the Brisbane CBD. The tournament has built a reputation for delivering world-class entertainment, both on and off the court.
Brisbane's champions include Kim Clijsters, Petra Kvitova, Maria Sharapova and two-time winners Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka. Clijsters' 2010 triumph was especially memorable, as she saved two match points in the final against rival and fellow Belgian Justine Henin in Henin's first event back after more than a year and a half away from tennis.
Defending champion Victoria Azarenka won't be back to defend her title after recently giving birth.
