The Adelaide Internation takes place in the last week of February, serving as the final step in this year's Aussie swing that saw five Melbourne events.

World no. 1 Ashleigh Barty took a wild card, ready for more tennis after the Australian Open quarter-final loss to Karolina Muchova, seeking the second title of the season after the Yarra Valley Classic. Barty will face Danielle Collins or Saisai Zheng in the second round before a possible quarter-final clash with the Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek.
