The Adelaide International is a professional tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts in Adelaide, South Australia at the Memorial Drive Tennis Centre. The tournament is held in January or February, and forms part of the WTA and ATP tours. The event is part of the lead-up to the first Grand Slam tournament of the season, the Australian Open.
History
The establishment of the Brisbane International in 2009 saw the city of Adelaide miss out on continuing to host an ATP or WTA lead-up event to the Australian Open. Over the next ten years Adelaide hosted the World Tennis Challenge, an exhibition event played featuring past players. The unveiling of the multi-city ATP Cup competition, held around the same time, resulted in the abolition of the Hopman Cup and the condensing of other tournaments, thereby allowing sufficient room in the calendar for the Adelaide International.{{cite web|url=https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/tennis/new-adelaide-tournament-set-to-first-unveil-big-name-ng-8708887519e57ca127b2f80fe46e3235|title=New Adelaide tournament set to first unveil big name|work=PerthNow|date=1 August 2019}} In February 2019, the South Australian Government announced it would invest $10 million to construct a canopy-roof structure over the Memorial Drive Tennis Centre, after securing a five-year deal with Tennis Australia to host the new event at the upgraded facility.{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-02/adelaide-steals-tennis-tournament-off-sydney-as-new-roof-funded/10773916|title=Adelaide tennis tournaments to replace Sydney International as new roof funded|work=ABC News|date=2 February 2019}} The new tournament was launched later that year,{{clarify|date=January 2021}} with then-world number four and two-time Grand-Slam champion Simona Halep being confirmed as the first player to play in the 2020 Adelaide International.{{cite web|url=https://tourism.sa.gov.au/news-and-media/news/2019/aug/02/sa-to-serve-up-worlds-best-in-tennis|title=SA to serve up best in women's tennis|work=South Australian Tourism Commission|date=2 August 2019|access-date=2 August 2019|archive-date=13 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190813041149/https://tourism.sa.gov.au/news-and-media/news/2019/aug/02/sa-to-serve-up-worlds-best-in-tennis|url-status=dead}} The new international tournament was a combined WTA Premier and ATP 250 event.{{cite web|url=https://adelaideinternational.com.au/2019/08/adelaide-international-to-star-wimbledon-champion-simona-halep-in-2020/|title=Adelaide International to star Wimbledon champion Simona Halep in 2020|work=Adelaide International|date=2 August 2019}}
In 2021, a WTA-only tournament was held after the Australian Open, from February 22–27.
In 2022, there were two back-to-back Adelaide Internationals from January 1st to January 14th. The events were combined ATP 250 and WTA 250 tournaments with Gaël Monfils and Ashleigh Barty winning the men's and women's singles in the first tournament, and Thanasi Kokkinakis and Madison Keys winning the men's and women's singles in the second tournament.{{Cite web |date=2022-01-15 |title=Kokkinakis completes Adelaide fairytale with hometown title |url=https://adelaideinternational.com.au/2022/01/kokkinakis-completes-adelaide-fairytale/ |access-date=2022-11-13 |website=Adelaide International Tennis}}
