WTAThursday, 14 December 2023 at 16:50
The main draw for the WTA 500 2024 Adelaide International has been unveiled, featuring an enticing lineup that includes five top-20 players, led by Elena Rybakina and Jessica Pegula. Additionally, the former world No. 1 Angelique Kerber is set to make a return, courtesy of a wildcard from the organizers.
The tournament is scheduled to take place from January 8 to 13, just days before the first major of the year, the Australian Open. This marks the third edition of Adelaide International 2, and notably, it will not feature any former champions Aryna Sabalenka, who is absent to better prepare for her title defense at the Aussie Open, and Belinda Bencic, who is absent due to her pregnancy.
Significant Entry List:
The main draw will bring together many of the best current tennis players, with five of them ranked in the top 10, and all 18 players by ranking within the top 30. This includes the wildcard entries for Kerber and Tomljanovic. With this lineup, five former Grand Slam champions will utilize this last competitive week before the Aussie Open.
Kazakh player Elena Rybakina shared her expectations for playing in Adelaide in an interview with the tournament's official website. She expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "I’m looking forward to returning to Adelaide. As players, we have everything we need in close proximity to the venue, making it easy to compete. Adelaide as a city knows how to make us feel welcome and bring out our best tennis."
Other top players to watch in the tournament include Jessica Pegula, Marketa Vondrousova, Karolina Muchova, Barbora Krejcikova, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Madison Keys, and Jelena Ostapenko.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis.

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
