Adelaide International - Adelaide

A WTA 500 on outdoor hard in Adelaide, in the week before Melbourne with Hobart and Brisbane. The GreenSet court measures quick, but the serve gets nothing from it: holds sit at 64%, aces are almost absent and tiebreaks are rare because a break lands first. Taking the ball early is what pays. Most matches still finish in straights. Potapova and Barty are the champions on record.
