The newly elevated event will offer an increased prize pool of USD$320,000<\/strong> alongside an increase in ATP and WTA ranking points on offer for players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Workday Canberra International 2024 today announced the playing field which will welcome over 100 players from <\/strong><\/span>6 continents<\/strong> and over 40 separate countries<\/strong> across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n The men\u2019s field is headlined by Belgian former World No. 7 David Goffin<\/strong>, who comes to the Capital for the first time with six ATP titles to his name and an enviable Grand Slam record including semi-final appearances in both the US and Australian Opens. The main draw features 5 Top 100 players<\/strong> including Germany\u2019s Dominik Koepfer<\/strong> and the French duet Alexandre Muller<\/strong> and Arthur Rinderknech<\/strong>.\u00a0Former Australian Open Junior champion, Czech Jiri Vesely<\/strong>, is joined by a strong American contingent including Brandon Nakashima<\/strong> & Michael Mmoh<\/strong>.

Britain\u2019s Jodie Burrage<\/strong> returns to Canberra following her Finals appearance last year whilst the Top 100 contingent is rounded out by Japan\u2019s Nao Hibino<\/strong> and France\u2019s Oceane Dodin<\/strong>. Other notable names in the women\u2019s draw include Italian Sara Errani<\/strong>, a former World No.5 and French Open finalist, as well as China\u2019s Yafan Wang<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n The depth and strength of the tournament is also notable in the qualifying draw where the very best of the world\u2019s junior talent will take to the Canberra courts. Alina Korneeva<\/strong>, dubbed \u2018The New Sharapova\u2019 by many in the media, is currently the World\u2019s #1 ranked junior player in the women\u2019s game and holds both the Australian and French Open Junior Grand Slam titles.

She will be joined in the WTA Main Draw by her fellow Western Australian Taylah Preston<\/strong>. Preston had an impressive debut season in the senior professional ranks with four ITF World Tennis Tour titles in 2023, including a recent win at the W60 in Brisbane.

Eleven Top 100 players will compete alongside some of the world\u2019s best emerging talent and a large Australian contingent. With over 100 players from over 40 countries, it is truly an international field and we can\u2019t wait to welcome them all shortly to Canberra.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re also delighted to welcome Workday as our title sponsor for the Canberra International.
