Adelaide International 2025 is on track to deliver thrilling matches and elite tennis action next January when some of the world’s best arrive in Adelaide to compete for the ultimate title.

Confirmed today, Felix Auger-Aliassime (former world No.6) and two of the WTA top 10 ranked players in Jasmine Paolini, Emma Navarro, as well as world No.13 Diana Shnaider will complete at The Drive from 6-11 January 2025.

The players add to a star-studded line-up, including hometown favourite and 2022 champion Thanasi Kokkinakis, world No.12 Tommy Paul, world No.23 Sebastian Korda, and top-10 stars Jessica Pegula and reigning Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova.

Auger-Aliassime won his first ATP Tour title in 2022 at the Rotterdam Open, a major milestone in his career. The Canadian has consistently reached the second week of Grand Slams, his best result being a US Open semifinal appearance in 2021.

Fourth-ranked Paolini will bring her competitive spirit alongside Navarro, the world No.8 and one of the rising stars of American tennis. Navarro took out honours at the 2024 Hobart International, has made great strides in her career, and her hard-hitting game will surely make an impact.

The full entry list for the Adelaide International 2025 will be announced in December.

Tickets to the games at the Drive start at $10 and kids go free for selected sessions, offering an all-access pass to the family zone, exclusive bars, entertainment, food, drinks, and elite tennis.

In 2024, the Adelaide International drew 51,117 attendees at The Drive, making it the highest attendance record for a single week event since 2020.

The Adelaide International adds to a South Australia’s international summer of sport, including the recent highly successful VAILO Adelaide 500 last week, the upcoming Christmas Test at Adelaide Oval, and the 25th anniversary of the Santos Tour Down Under.
