- World No 1 to defend title against Swiatek, Andreescu and Brady
- Stosur, Tomljanovic and Olivia Gadecki awarded final wildcards
Ash Barty will look to rebound from her Australian Open quarter-final loss at this week’s Adelaide International. The world No 1 has made the surprise decision to defend the title she won in the South Australian capital last year.
“I am looking forward to coming back to Adelaide and having the opportunity to defend my title,” Barty said. 3“I feel grateful to get another week playing in front of Australian fans.”
