Don't let the rhythm stop! We still have in our memory the victories of Jannik Sinner and his Italy in the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga and the sad farewell of Rafa Nadal and we already have information about the Entry List that awaits us for the beginning of 2025. It's time to talk about the ATP 250 Adelaide International, which will be held in Australia from January 6 to 11.
This is one of the most important tournaments in the run-up to the Australian Open and had more than 50,000 fans in the stands for both the men's tournament and the WTA 500 women's tournament. Although there are no top 10 players on the initial entry list, there are some very classy players.
The best positioned is the world number 12, the American Tommy Paul. It is worth mentioning names like the Italian Lorenzo Musetti, the also American Sebastian Korda or the Czech Tomas Machac. Watch out for names like the Canadian Felix Auger-Alisassime, the Argentinian Tomás Martín Etcheverry or the Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut. In short, a spectacular Adelaide Tournament is expected with players with a lot of class who are looking to reach the first Grand Slam of the year in form.
The Adelaide International will also mark the start of a series of major events in South Australia, such as the Santos Tour Down Under in cycling, the LIV Golf Adelaide, the Adelaide Fringe (art), WOMADelaide (music) or the AFL Gather Round (footy).
Debbie Sterrey, chief executive officer of Tennis SA and general manager of the Adelaide International, confirmed that preparations are ready: "Today's roster announcement confirms that the Adelaide International 2025 will be the only place in South Australia this summer to enjoy world-class tennis."
