World No.75 Jordan Thompson has received a wildcard for the ATP 250 tournament, joining previously-announced wildcard recipient Nick Kyrgios in the draw. Australian Alexei Popyrin will also compete in a field led by world No.18 and Australian Open 2021 semifinalist Aslan Karatsev.
Former world No.1 Andy Murray has also been handed a wildcard for the tournament.
"I'm looking forward to playing in Sydney for the first time and continuing my preparation for the Australian Open," said Murray.
"I've heard great things about Sydney, it's a pretty cool city."
