Djokovic set for Brisbane International

SYDNEY: World No 3 Novak Djokovic and French star Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - the finalists in this year's Australian Open - will top the draw at the Brisbane International, organizers said yesterday.

Former world No 1 and reigning French Open champion Ana Ivanovic was last month named as the top drawcard among the women competing at the inaugural event to be held in the lead-up to the Australian Open.

Djokovic said the January event would be a key part of his preparation to retain the Australian Open title he won in a dramatic four-set victory over Tsonga in Melbourne in January.
