Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic will play at next January's Heinneken Open in Auckland.
The tall left-handed Croat, ranked number 13 in the world, competed in Auckland last year when he was a first-round loser.
His confirmed participation further strengthens the field, which now includes former world No 1 Marat Safin of Russia, Britain's Greg Rusedski, Heineken Open champion Dominik Hrbaty of Slovakia and Russian star Anna Kournikova.
The 30-year-old Ivanisevic will play in Doha and Auckland in the lead-up to the Australian Open.
