Bianca Andreescu, Belinda Bencic, Jennifer Brady and Danielle Rose Collins are still on the entry list of the upcoming WTA event that will be played in Adelaide next week.
Obviously, the situation is quite fluid especially for Andreescu and Brady. Bianca has just lost a heartbreaking semifinal in Melbourne in the Phillip Island Trophy to Marie Bouzkova after playing more than 3 hours. However, she’s in need of match play and if she is not injured she may very well play in Adelaide. Jennifer is currently in the Australian Open final. It is not so plausible that she will play in Adelaide if she wins the slam or if she is struggling with her body.
