The Adelaide International 2, which will take place from January 9–14, 2023, has attracted the majority of the top ATP and WTA players. The women’s WTA 500 event features a strong field, including Caroline Garcia, Daria Kasatkina, and Veronika Kudermetova—all of whom are ranked among the top 10. Grand Slam winners are plentiful as well, including Petra Kvitova, Garbine Muguruza, Barbora Krejcikova, Victoria Azarenka, Jelena Ostapenko, and Elena Rybakina. Returning to defend her title is Madison Keys as well.
As the only member of the top 10 competing in this event, Andrey Rublev leads the men’s field. However, the draw features a host of well-known figures, such as Roberto Bautista Agut, Karen Khachanov, and Pablo Carreno Busta.
