Olympic champion and world No 4 Andy Murray will return to Queensland to defend his 2013 Brisbane International title.
Tournament director, Cameron Pearson, said 25-year-old Murray will be a strong drawcard for the event.
“Andy is our defending champion, so we are thrilled he has again decided to start his year with us."
In 2012 the ATP recognised the Brisbane International for the best fan experience of any tournament in the ATP International Group, which includes the Middle East, Asia and Pacific regions.
Brisbane International is presented in association with Events Queensland and will take place at the Queensland Tennis Centre, Brisbane, from December 30, 2012 to January 6, 2013.
Brisbane International series packages will go on sale on Wednesday October 3.
