WTA Down Under – Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022 final results

–

Qualifying over, and some of the biggest guns roll into action.

Prominent among them are world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty, who takes to the court in Adelaide. As well as No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka and No. 3 Maria Sakkari (both of whom went down)

That said, there are weather challenges everywhere the next few days, so we’ll see.

Canadian Leylah Fernandez and Cana-Kiwi Erin Routliffe squeaked through their first round.
