Tournament Director Cameron Pearson announced that Kim Clijsters will play on Pat Rafter Arena on the first day of the tournament, Sunday 1 January, subject to not having to play a qualifier in the first round.

“It is going to be an exciting few day days at the Brisbane International with four of our big stars already confirmed for three sessions. It is shaping up to be a great event and a great way for all Queenslanders to start the New Year,” Pearson said.
