The Adelaide International Open is a tennis event that was started last year as a WTA 500 and ATP 250 tournament. It was played as a warm-up for the Australian Open, but this year, there have been some major changes.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2021 edition of the tournament will be played after the Melbourne Slam. In addition to that, it will also be a WTA-only event which is very unfortunate.

Despite these changes, there are many players who have decided to enter into the event. Here’s the entry list as of now.
