The world number 1 Simona Halep confirmed the participation in the Sydney tournament. The current champion, Angelique Kerber, will also launch the new 2019 in the Australian city. The US Open trophy winner Naomi Osaka is another big star that complements Sydney International`s scheme.
That means that 8 of the top 10 world ranked tennis players will be fighting for the Sydney title. Earlier, Sloane Stephens, Petra Kvitova, Karolina Pliskova, Kiki Bertens and Daria Kasatkina confirmed it. Only Caroline Wozniacki and Elina Svitolina are missing in this elite company.
Ashleigh Barty will try to delight the native audience after finishing last season and retreating to Angelique Kerber. The scheme also shows the names of Samantha Stuser, Jelena Ostapenko and Garbine Muguruza. This means that there are 8 Grand Slam winners in the star of the race.
'It is hard to believe that we can surpass the quality that Sydney International has proposed in 2018!', said the Tournament Director Lawrence Robertson. The Sydney tournament according tennis-picks in 2019 will surely be one of the most exciting in the 124-year history of the race.
Sydney International 2019 will be held on 6-12 January in Ken Rosewell Arena.
