Starting from January 8, this prestigious tournament serves as the ultimate warm-up to the Australian Open, featuring 16 of the top 20 ranked players globally.
The “city of churches” is all set to welcome a star-studded lineup, including Australia’s Thanasi Kokkinakis, aiming to leverage local support for a triumphant win.
However, formidable opponents like Tommy Paul, Nicolas Jarry, Ugo Humbert, alongside Aussie Alexei Popyrin and the formidable Sebastian Korda, are ready to present stiff competition.
