Bianca Andreescu and others to play Adelaide International after Australian Open
As you can see, many of the big names in tennis are making an appearance in Adelaide. Bianca Andreescu, who has just recovered from a knee injury, will be the top seed. She is followed by Belinda Bencic and Victoria Azarenka. The latter made a stunning comeback in 2020 by reaching the US Open final and could do great things in 2021.
