MELBOURNE, Australia – Life goes on in that fabulous place called Adelaide where the final prep for next week’s Australian Open continues.

And despite a number of pullouts, the women’s field is still offering up primo entertainment.

In Hobart, there also are a lot of good players on hand as Sofia Kenin (on a wild card) looks to get some momentum before returning to the tournament she won in 2020.

That was before … everything happened. Feels like a century ago.

(Adelaide is 15 1/2 hours ahead of Eastern time; Hobart is 16 hours.
