Adelaide to host two Australian Open warm-ups

ADELAIDE: Adelaide will host two tournaments, including the Adelaide International, in the lead-up to the Australian Open in January next year, South Australia state Premier Steven Marshall announced on Monday. The Adelaide International, which includes men's and women's draws, was staged once in early 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc with the tennis calendar.

All the warm-ups for this year's Australian Open were held at Melbourne Park after players came out of quarantine, but the run-up to next year's edition of the Grand Slam looks like being closer to normal.

"Adelaide will host some of the biggest tennis stars in the lead up to the Australian Open," Marshall posted on his verified Twitter feed. IANS
