The Brisbane tennis tournament, which in the men's singles will welcome the return to the court of the Spanish champion Rafael Nadal, will also have great expectations for the women's tournament, which will see the presence of many of its brightest stars.

Leading the seeding will be the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, who intends to regain the No.1 in the WTA world ranking, after losing it in the WTA Finals to Iga Swiatek. However, several players will be able to fight for the title.

Among these are the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, the Czech Karolina Muchova, and the American Madison Keys, who complete the main four seeds. But the most anticipated tennis player will undoubtedly be Naomi Osaka, who will return to compete on the court after her maternity leave.

Below, in detail, who will currently be the tennis players who will battle at the WTA 250 in Brisbane? The Brisbane event will officially open the 2024 tennis season. As we said above, the first and most awaited highlights of the year will be the comeback of the Spanish star Rafael Nadal and the Japanese icon Naomi Osaka.
