Ana Ivanovic is returning to headline Brisbane International 2010.
The young Serbian star and former French Open champion said she looks forward coming back to Brisbane.
“I am very excited to go back to Brisbane. I really enjoyed playing there and I love competing in Australia,” Ivanovic said.
“I have relatives in Melbourne so every year I look forward to it. It is one of my favourite parts of the year going down under.
“The people are very friendly and open and I love the culture –you know going to the beach early in the morning. Everyone is just so relaxed and easy going and laid back and that is what I really like.”
A delighted Brisbane International Tournament Director, Steve Ayles, announced the coup today.
“Ana’s choice to return to the Brisbane International is the ultimate endorsement for the event and the city,” Ayles said.
“We plan to put on one of the best events in the world of tennis and with the addition of Ana; we have not only a fantastic player but a real crowd favourite.
“She is a terrific person and if last year is anything to go by the Queensland public love her as much as she loves Brisbane.”
