Welcome to Brisbane, Australia! Brisbane marks the start of the new roadmap for 2009 season! Many changes will come with the new calendar as the start was already pushed back one week later. Defending champion Flavia Pennetta won't be back, which leads to a new winner. Headline is Serbian Senastion Ana Ivanović, but her fellow competitors Victoria Azarenka and Maria Kirilenko are clearly among potential winners, too. Who can win the first title of 2009? Vote now as the Brisbane International continues with the main draw action!
