Media Release Tuesday 14 October 2008 Baghdatis Named for Brisbane International media release Tuesday 14 October 2008 Baghdatis named for Brisbane International Former Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis is the latest player to confirm Brisbane as the start of his Australian Open campaign, joining the star-studded player line-up at the inaugural event. To be held at the new Queensland Tennis Centre in Tennyson from Sunday 4 to Sunday 11 January, the Brisbane International will offer more than $1 million in prize money. “Today we are pleased to announce Marcos Baghdatis as the latest player to sign up for the Brisbane International,” Tournament Director, Steve Ayles said. “Baghdatis captured the hearts of Australians during his phenomenal run to the Australian Open final in 2006, and who could forget his brave late-night fight against Lleyton Hewitt at the Australian Open this year. “Marcos is one of the game’s biggest personalities, and we can’t wait to welcome him to the Brisbane International.” The flamboyant Cypriot joins Australian Open champion and *world No.3 Novak Djokovic , and the ‘three musketeers’ of French tennis, No.15 Richard Gasquet , No.16 and Australian Open finalist, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga , and No.28 Gael Monfils. “Djokovic is sure to come out firing in Brisbane as he prepares for his AO title defence,” Ayles said. The Serbian superstar added two Masters Series trophies – Indian Wells and Rome – to his silverware in 2008, and reached the semis at Roland Garros, the US Open, the Beijing Olympics and Masters Series events in Monte Carlo and Hamburg. Richard Gasquet started 2008 ranked No.7 but has failed to notch up a singles title this year. He teamed with Tsonga to defeat the Bryan Brothers at the Medibank International Sydney last January.

He exacted revenge over Djokovic in a replay of the Australian Open final, defeating the Serb and taking the title in Thailand last month. The stage is set in Brisbane for a possible match-up between the pair, as a great tennis rivalry continues to evolve. Gael Monfils is another dynamic Frenchman who first made his presence felt at the Australian Open, reaching the third round in an amazing display of athleticism in 2007. His 2008 highlights include reaching the final in Austria this week, a brilliant run to the semis at Roland Garros, semi-final appearances in Nottingham and Bangkok, and the quarterfinals of the Beijing Olympics. Tennis’ ultimate girl-next-door and Australian Open finalist Ana Ivanovic leads the charge on the women’s side of the draw. “I’m very excited, it’s my favourite country in the world … and I’ve never been to Brisbane before, so it’s very exciting. It’s a combined event and the spectators will really appreciate the guys and girls both being there, and I look forward to seeing all my fans and competing in a new stadium,” Ana Ivanovic said. “We are also excited that Queenslander Samantha Stosur will start her Australian Open campaign at the Brisbane International,” Steve Ayles said. “Sam has had an amazing come-back year after a serious illness. A couple of weeks ago she reached the final in Thailand, and the quarters in Japan, lifting her ranking to No. 51. “In doubles she reached the Wimbledon and US Open finals, and won the mixed at Wimbledon. We can’t wait to welcome her to what will really be her ‘home’ tournament, and I’m sure all Queenslanders look forward to seeing her play,” Ayles stated. “I’m really looking forward to playing at the Brisbane International and hope all the fans come out to support me,” Sam Stosur said .

  • GREG NORMAN Wednesday, December 10, 2014
    PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: GREG NORMAN Wednesday, December 10, 2014 DAVE SENKO: Well, we would like to welcome our host, Greg Norman. Greg, this is 26 years for your event, 14 years in Naples. A couple changes this year. Maybe you could just get us started, talk about the new format, a little bit of a course change as well as Fox's debut as broadcasting golf. GREG NORMAN: Absolutely. First of all, I said it when we had the 25th anniversary last year that I never anticipated running this tournament for 25 years. Now we're into 26 and it seems like we're just getting better and better every year. There's been the golf course changes. Fortunately for us we had a 36-hole golf course to be able to work with. The agronomy department, we all know there was a disease got into the greens so we made the adjustments very, very quickly. Quite honestly, as far as I was concerned, I always wanted to use -- I'm going to get them all mixed up -- the black course in the beginning because I really thought it was a better golf course to play. So, you know, we made the adjustments very, very quickly. I think the players really like the new golf course, the layout of the golf course. So there really has been sort of a seamless transition, quite honestly. And the third one with Fox, extremely excited about it, I really am. There's a lot of things I've done in my life and there's a lot of opportunities I've had to do new things in life but this is one that I'm extremely excited about.
