The 2025 Adelaide International is set for January, but some big names are already on the list, like Jessica Pegula and Sebastian Korda.
Last year, Belinda Bencic claimed victory in Adelaide after returning from maternity leave. She defeated Daria Kasatkina in an impressive final match.
This tournament always happens right before the Australian Open, giving players a chance to get ready for the first Grand Slam of the year.

Excitement and Concerns:
Yet, some top players worry about injuries if they play too close to major tournaments. Still, Adelaide often attracts big stars from both ATP and WTA tours. Fans might wonder why this event keeps drawing such talent every year.
Jessica Pegula is one of those stars. She reached the US Open final but lost to Aryna Sabalenka in an epic showdown at Flushing Meadows. Earlier in the season, she won the Canadian Open again and made it to the Cincinnati Open final during a fantastic run on hard courts.
Pegula had injury troubles earlier but turned things around by trusting her process. Her efforts paid off as she secured a spot at the WTA Finals alongside Coco Gauff and others after performing well at Wuhan Open.
She’s proving herself as a strong contender on hard courts and will also compete in Brisbane before heading to Adelaide.
Barbora Krejcikova is another player confirmed for Adelaide 2025. Her unexpected Wimbledon win last year was remarkable as she battled through form issues and injuries. Thanks to new rules allowing Grand Slam winners into WTA Finals if they’re among the top 20 players, she qualified this time.
Sebastian Korda will join them if he recovers from his elbow injury that kept him out since his US Open match against Tomas Machac. He recently had surgery but hopes to be back soon despite missing Vienna’s event next week.
Tommy Paul rounds out American entries for next year’s tournament after enjoying his best season yet on his favorite hard court surface.
