South Aussies Alex Bolt and Thanasi Kokkinakis will headline today’s Adelaide International for the first time, with World No.1 Ash Barty scheduled to take the court tomorrow night.
Bolt is set to take on Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the day session, with the night schedule to include the blockbuster all-Aussie match between Kokkinakis and John Millman.
World No.1 Ash Barty will take centre stage tomorrow night at The Drive.
Kicking-off her Adelaide International and summer of tennis campaign, she’ll play Coco Gauff in what’s sure to be a major draw-card event.
Adelaide’s Memorial Drive Tennis Centre on the banks of the River Torrens, now known as ‘The Drive’, will host some of the biggest stars in tennis in the lead up to the Australian Open.
A jam-packed program will see two tournaments held at The Drive – the first from 2-9 January and will feature the combined mens and women’s tournament followed by the second Adelaide International event – a WTA 250 and ATP 250 tournament from 9-15 January.
Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing Corey Wingard said the events will inspire the next generation of South Australian tennis enthusiasts.
“It’s fantastic … we’re able to get back to hosting a bigger, longer and more action-packed tournament,” Minister Wingard said.
