2025 Adelaide International WTA Draw With Andreeva, Pegula, Badosa & More

Tennis returns to Adelaide in 2025 and the draw for the 2025 Adelaide International has been released.

Running from January 6th until 11th, the Adelaide International is the last WTA 500 tournament before the start of the first major tournaments of the new season - the Australian Open.

In 2024, Jelena Ostapenko won the title in Adelaide after a straight-sets win over her good friend Daria Kasatkina, and in 2025, both of these players will return to the tournament.

Ostapenko is the eighth seed, and in the first round of the tournament, she will take on Magdalena Frech. The draw was brutal to her as a defending champion, as in the second round, the Latvian player could meet the winner of the match between Beatriz Haddad Maia and Madison Keys.

Should the defending champion reach the quarter-finals, the fans in Adelaide could see a rematch of last year's final. The third-seeded Daria Kasatkina will start against home wild card Olivia Gadecki, and if she wins, she will play against either Emerson Jones, who is another home wild card, or one of those qualifiers.

If both Ostapenko and Kasatkina win their first two matches, then they will meet already in the quarter-finals of this year's tournament, which is a bit unfortunate, given their great run into the final last year.

The top seed at the 2025 Adelaide International is Jessica Pegula, whose draw is even more brutal than that of Ostapenko. Only the top two seeds in Adelaide have a first-round bye, so the American player is one of the beneficiaries of this first-round advantage.

She will, therefore, start in the second round, and her opponent will be the winner of the match between an extremely talented 17-year-old super talent, Mirra Andreeva, and Linda Noskova. In the following rounds, it won't get any easier for the winner of this section.

The fifth-seeded Paula Badosa and Marta Kostyuk will both meet a qualifier in the first round and if they win, they will meet in the second round. The winner of this section will then take on the winner of Pegula's section in the quarter-finals.

The fourth-seeded Danielle Collins will take on Ons Jabeur in a first-round blockbuster. Another great first-round match will see Marketa Vondrousova take on Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

The bottom part of the draw could also be named "Russians against qualifiers." The seventh-seeded Anna Kalinskaya, Liudmila Samsonova, and Ekaterina Alexandrova will all play against one of the qualifiers. Joining them in this section is the second-seeded Emma Navarro, who has a first-round bye.
