Joao Fonseca will be a player to watch as the teenager looks to start the year with a bang, as will fellow rising star Learner Tien.

The ATP Brisbane International began in 2009 as part of a major restructuring of Australia’s summer tennis calendar. Created to give players a high-quality lead-in event ahead of the Australian Open, Brisbane replaced the long-running Adelaide tournament and quickly established itself as a premier hard-court stop in early January. Held at the Queensland Tennis Centre, the event combined both ATP and WTA draws for much of its history, delivering a strong mix of international stars and rising talent preparing for the Grand Slam season.

The tournament traditionally featured a 28-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles field on Plexicushion hard courts, mirroring the conditions players would face in Melbourne. Its timing, just two weeks before the Australian Open, made Brisbane a key part of many players’ preparation schedules. The event was known for strong crowds, player-friendly facilities and consistently high-quality match-ups, attracting top-10 names and major champions throughout the 2010s. After being paused between 2020–2023 due to the ATP Cup and calendar changes, the tournament made a highly anticipated return to the schedule in 2024.

Across its history, Brisbane has produced an impressive list of champions. Early editions were dominated by some of the era’s biggest names including Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Lleyton Hewitt, Milos Raonic, and Robin Söderling. Later years saw emerging stars make breakthrough runs, such as Nick Kyrgios winning his first home-soil title in 2018, Kei Nishikori’s dramatic 2019 triumph, and Grigor Dimitrov, who won the event twice across two separate eras (2017 and 2024). With its combination of elite fields and high-intensity early-season matches, the ATP Brisbane International remains one of the most important lead-in tournaments on the global tennis circuit.
