Williams and Murray started their seasons at the tournament this year but Russian Sharapova will be making her first appearance at the event, which takes place at the Queensland Tennis Centre from Dec. 31 to Jan. 6. "Going into Australia after a long off season you always want to have the best possible matches," the 25-year-old, losing finalist at Melbourne Park this season, said in a news release. "I tried to put Brisbane on the map last year but unfortunately couldn't make it out of injury... I have heard so many great things about it." ※ 引述《erickin (阿更)》之銘言： : 莎娃將會首度參加布里斯本女網賽， : 這也是莎娃2012年首項參加的賽事。 : (今年好早公佈呢！去年等到10月才公佈參加奧克蘭賽) : 參賽介紹短片﹕ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeNO5w7vEKk : Maria to call Brisbane home in January : In a major coup for the Brisbane International, Maria will start 2012 in : Australia.
