The Adelaide International 2024 is set to feature an incredible line-up of tennis stars as Tommy Paul and Felix Auger-Aliassime headline the men’s field. Taking place from January 6-11, 2024, the ATP 250 tournament will see some of the world’s best players compete at The Drive, with both established stars and rising talents eager to kick off the new season with a strong showing.

Tommy Paul, currently ranked No. 12 in the ATP rankings, will bring his exceptional form into the tournament after an outstanding 2024 season. The American has enjoyed his most successful year to date, capturing three ATP titles and solidifying his position among the top players in the world. With a career-high ranking and a strong track record, Paul will be one of the favorites heading into the Adelaide event, which he has previously reached the semi-finals of in 2020.

Alongside Paul, Felix Auger-Aliassime will also be a major contender. The Canadian has proven his mettle on the ATP Tour and has shown consistent form over the past year. Auger-Aliassime, currently ranked No. 9 in the world, is looking to build on his impressive performances and enter the 2024 season in top form. In a recent statement, Felix spoke about his excitement for the Adelaide tournament: “I’ve always enjoyed my stay in Adelaide and that’s why I’ve chosen to come back in 2025 for the third time in my career. I think it will be a perfect preparation for me after the United Cup and just before playing the Australian Open.”

The tournament will also feature local hero Thanasi Kokkinakis, the 2022 champion, who will be returning to defend his title in front of his home crowd. With his passionate fan base, Kokkinakis will undoubtedly be looking to deliver an unforgettable performance. Additionally, Sebastian Korda, currently ranked No. 22 in the world, will be another major name to watch as he looks to make a strong start to the season.

The Adelaide International is well known for attracting top-level talent, and this year’s field is no exception. The tournament serves as a crucial warm-up event ahead of the Australian Open, giving players a final opportunity to fine-tune their game before the first Grand Slam of the year. The packed field in both the men’s and women’s draws promises exciting and competitive action throughout the week.

In addition to the ATP stars, the women’s side of the Adelaide International will also feature some outstanding players. Jasmine Paolini and Emma Navarro, both highly ranked on the WTA Tour, will lead the women’s field. Barbora Krejcikova, the reigning Wimbledon champion, will also be in action, bringing a wealth of experience and talent to the competition.
