The 2025 Brisbane International, slated to take place on December 29 at Pat Rafter Arena, has revealed a star-studded lineup of 61 players headed by tennis legend Novak Djokovic. The 37-year-old star will be playing at the Brisbane International for the first time since 2009. The Serbian aims for his 100th title and seems ecstatic to return to the showpiece event where he finished off his first tournament's edition.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner will headline the ATP 250 event alongside defending champions Grigor Dimitrov, Holger Rune, and Frances Tiafoe. The WTA 500 event boasts an equally great team. Former Brisbane International winner and two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka will also make it to the prestigious lineup with 11 players ranked in the top 20.
Novak Djokovic will start his 2025 tennis edition at the ATP 250 tournament in Brisbane, which is set to take place on December 29. Andy Murray, who the Serbian hired as a new coach for the 2025 Australia Open, is not planning to be there, as reported by multiple reports.
