Adelaide 2023: Entry lists, draws and everything you need to know

The first Hologic WTA Tour tournament is set to kick off on New Year's Day at the Adelaide International 1.

This year, Memorial Drive will host back-to-back WTA 500 tournaments, starting with Adelaide 1 and following a week later with Adelaide 2. Both tournaments feature top-flight fields, as the tour's best look to get their seasons underway ahead of the first Slam of the season at the Australian Open, which begins on Jan. 16.
