The 2023 WTA season kicks off with the Adelaide International 1 tournament, which allows players to begin preparations for the Australian Open and will run from January 1-8, 2023.
A WTA 500 event, Adelaide 1 (there are two events held in Adelaide in January) will feature several of the tour's best players as they battle to earn their first points of the season. Leading the group is World No.2 Ons Jabuer, who had a career-best year in 2022 where she reached two Grand Slam finals.
Joining the Tunisian superstar are World No.5 Aryna Sabalenka and No.8 Daria Kasatkina. Both ladies will look to kickoff their 2023 season with an impressive showing. Russian Veronika Kudermetova will also be present, alongside American Danielle Collins, who shocked the world last year by reaching the final in Melbourne.
Former World No.4 Bianca Andreescu will be unseeded at the tournament, but the 2019 US Open champion has already announced her intentions of making a comeback to the top 10 this upcoming season.
