WTA ENTRY LIST 2024 Hobart International including Sloane STEPHENS, Elise MERTENS and Emma NAVARRO
WTAThursday, 14 December 2023 at 01:00
The main
draw of the 2024 Hobart International Open, which will take place from January
8 to 13, has been revealed. The WTA 250 event will feature the 2017 US Open
champion Sloane Stephens, the world No. 29 Elise Mertens, and No. 32 Emma
Navarro.
The WTA 250
tournament is played simultaneously with the WTA 500 Adelaide International 2,
just a week before the Australian Open. Consequently, there aren't many
incentives for the players to participate in the tournament. Nevertheless, the
event always boasts a strong field, and this year is no exception.
The 2023
finalist Elisabetta Cocciaretto will be part of the draw, although
unfortunately, the current champion Lauren Davis (No. 67) will not participate
in the event due to an injury, as announced by the organization.
"Whilst
we’re excited to announce our full field today, unfortunately Lauren Davis has
had to make the tough decision to withdraw due to injury. We wish her a really
good recovery and hope to see her back for our 30th Hobart International in
2025."
In total,
there are 14 players within the top 50 who will compete in one of the first
tournaments of the year. Other seeded players include the Czechs Marie Bouzkova
(third) and Linda Noskova (sixth), Chinese representatives Xinyu Wang (fourth)
and Lin Zhu (fifth), as well as Martina Trevisan (seventh) and Varvara Gracheva
(eighth). Here is the entry list with the players who will be competing in the

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026
- Clearly not AI :-)
AceOfBase11-09-2026 - Oh my God!! Does anyone proofread these pages??? Case in point: However, the question mark over the 32-years-old head......???? No! No! No! However, the question mark over the 32-year-old's head...good grief man, hire a proofreader. This article is rife with errors making some sentences very difficult to read. I had to stop. I am a proofreader hence my disgust.Rapunzel10-09-2026
- 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. Tiafoe vs. Shelton should be a good one too. Americans might finally get their US Open Champion after 23 years!DaveyWavey09-09-2026
- No one else would get away with this but these AMERCANS! It’s the US Open!! In America!! But sure, go off American ;)DaveyWavey08-09-2026
- WOW !!! Her comebacks have been intense. She's Baaaaack!
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
- Here we go again…. Different rules for Americans! Especially THESE Americans. Yuck!DaveyWavey07-09-2026
