Tennis star Jarmila Gajdosova will return to defend her Hobart International title next month.
Gajdosova will prepare for the Australian Open by targeting successive titles at the Domain Tennis Centre from January 6-14.
The Australian has had an outstanding year, which peaked with a career-high ranking of number 25 in May.
Meanwhile, German crowd favourite Andrea Petkovic has joined a world-class women's field competing at the Brisbane International in the new year.
World number 11 Petkovic, 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone and former world number one Jelena Jankovic are the latest to sign on for the January 1-8 tune-up for the Australian Open.
Petkovic lost this year's Brisbane final to the Czech Republic's Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova.
