Does anyone know anything about the new Mens and Womens Hardcourt tornument in Brisbane?

Question

I wanted to know when is it actually happening and who is supposed to be playing.

Answer 1

From what I understand they will be moving the Medibank International tournament from Sydney to Brisbane.  It's a combined event for the ATP and WTA, taking place in mid-January and is a major warm-up tournament for the Australian Open.  It typically attracts most of the top players.  This year Justine Henin and Dmitry Tursunov won in its last year in Sydney.
