Tennis - WTA Sydney International
This is one of the oldest tournaments on the WTA circuit. For most of its history the event was known as the New South Wales Open. In 2000 it became the Sydney International after being moved away from the original White City courts in central Sydney to the venue for that year's Olympic tournament, the Sydney International Tennis Centre close to the main stadium in the suburbs. It is normally staged the week before the Australian Open in January.
