Some of the biggest names in tennis, including 2024 Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejčíková and American favourite Tommy Paul, will hit Memorial Drive in January as the Adelaide International serves up more world-class tennis.
From 6-11 January 2025, The Drive will host a WTA 500 and ATP 250 combined tournament with around 150 of the world’s best players competing across the singles and doubles competition.
World No. 4, American Jessica Pegula, will return to the Adelaide International, joining world No. 22 Sebastian Korda and homegrown hero Thanasi Kokkinakis as part of the 2025 line up.
The Adelaide International 2024 drew 51,117 attendees at The Drive, making it the highest attendance record for a single-week event since 2020, and after selling out in 2024 demand for the Kids Day on day one of the tournament has already had strong interest.
Further showcasing South Australia’s world-class food, beverage and entertainment offerings, the Pinky Flat experience on Adelaide’s Riverbank will be expanded featuring live entertainment, a family zone, food trucks and more.
Tickets start at $10, and children go free for selected sessions, offering an all-access pass to the family zone, exclusive bars, entertainment, food, drinks and elite tennis.
The Adelaide International is part of a blockbuster summer of sport in South Aust
ralia, which includes the ‘Christmas Test’ match at Adelaide Oval, the 25th anniversary of the Santos Tour Down Under, and a new February timeslot for LIV Golf Adelaide.
Tournament director and former world No. 8-ranked player Alicia Molik (pictured) said she was delighted to welcome 2024 US Open runner up Pegula back to the state and was excited by the prospect of Adelaide hosting Krejčíková.
“To have Barbora Krejčíková, a two-time Grand Slam winner (2021 at the French Open and 2024 at Wimbledon) at the Adelaide International is a real honour and shows a commitment by the event to deliver a world class tennis experience in Adelaide,” Molik said.
Peluga, a semi-finalist in 2024, said she was looking forward to returning to SA.
“I loved the venue I loved centre court, and I liked the conditions,” the American player said. “Being able to walk from the hotel to the site is really nice. I felt like it was really easy to get around the city as well.”
It’s a sentiment backed by Paul, currently world No. 13.
“I am looking forward to returning to the Adelaide to compete in the men’s competition,” he said.
“I’ll be working hard in the off season so by the time January rolls around I’ll be ready to get out there and play some good tennis.”
