<p>Russia's World No 3 Svetlana Kuznetsova on Thursday became the fifth top 10 player to commit to January's WTA/ATP Sydney International, organisers said.</p>
<p><br />The French Open champion (24) was runner-up in the event in 2008, bowing out in a tough three-set final against Justine Henin, then the World No 1.</p>
<p><br />"I have had some really great results there in the past and I am looking forward to having a great tournament in Sydney before the Australian Open," Kuznetsova said.

<p><br />Tournament director Craig Watson said the winner of 12 career singles titles was a fantastic addition to the women's field, which already boasts Serena Williams, Elena Dementieva, Caroline Wozniacki and Victoria Azarenka.</p>
<p><br />Kuznetsova has been part of three Fed Cup winning teams for Russia, and this year took out titles in Stuttgart and Beijing.</p>
<p><br />The Sydney International also has confirmed entries from top 20 men Lleyton Hewitt, Gael Monfils and Tomas Berdych.</p>
