A lot of Canadian content with Victoria Mboko, the No. 8 seed, in tough against the talented Brazilian lefty Beatriz Haddad Maia.
And Leylah Fernandez, who will have to play Diana Shnaider in the first round of singles, starts off in doubles as she’s paired with Timea Babos. She had originally been drawn to play Mirra Andreeva, the No. 3 seed. But a late withdrawal by Jessica Pegula shuffled the seeds around.
Gaby Dabrowski, who missed the United Cup entirely because of a foot injury that meant she never even travelled Down Under, isn’t playing Adelaide, either.
Which is concerning, especially as she’s planning to re-start a new/old partnership with Luisa Stefani.
(Adelaide 15 1/2 hours ahead of ET and Hobart 16 hours ahead)
