Organisers are hopeful Carlos Alcaraz will join a growing list of stars at the restored Brisbane International before entries close for the Australian Open lead-in event next week.
This year's Australian Open women's finalists Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka, as well as exciting American Ben Shelton were confirmed as starters on Tuesday.
They'll join Naomi Osaka, Victoria Azarenka, Andy Murray and Holger Rune at the popular tournament, which hasn't been staged since 2020.
