Raonic, Tipsarevic and Monaco sign for 2013 AAMI Classic  |

As the 25th event approaches Colin Stubs was pleased to announce last month the participation of former world no. 1 Australian warrior, LLEYTON HEWITT (2011 AAMI Classic champion – 78), along with 2009 US Open winner JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO (ARG – 7), No. 1 Japanese KEI NISHIKORI (19) and new father MARCOS BAGHDATIS (CYP-35).

Joining the above four from January 9-12 will be:

JANKO TIPSAREVIC (SER – 9)
JUAN MONACO (ARG – 12)
MILOS RAONIC (CAN – 13)

Tipsarevic, 28, has been at the business end of 14 tournaments this year. He won Dusseldorf and Stuttgart, was a finalist in Chennai and Gstaad, semi-finalist in Marseille, Madrid Masters, Canadian Masters, Bangkok and Vienna and quarter-finalist in Dubai, Miami Masters, Barcelona, US Open and Tokyo. Off-court he studies sports management and has a keen interest in psychiatry.

Monaco, also 28, has been in the winner’s circle on four occasions, taking out events in Chile, Houston, Hamburg and Kuala Lumpur. He was a finalist in Stuttgart and reached the semis at the Miami Masters. He thrives on hard work and fitness and has a hunger for the game born from growing up in tough conditions in his home town of Tandil.

Named 2011 ATP Newcomer of the Year, 21 year old Raonic, born in Montenegro, won the Chennai tournament before making his first visit to Kooyong last January. The big-serving Canadian went on to win in San Jose and got to the finals in Memphis and Tokyo, semis in Barcelona and quarters in Halle, Canadian Masters, Cincinnati Masters and Bangkok.

First ever winner, Pat Cash, will get the Classic off to a great start by hosting a free “fan day” on Tuesday, Jan. 8, in support of Challenge Cancer. A kids’ day will be held on Friday, Jan. 11, when all children under 16 will be admitted free if accompanied by an adult (limit two children per adult).
