Edward Winter (Glenelg, SA) has been confirmed as a wildcard recipient for week one qualifying starting tomorrow, Saturday 31 December.
South Australia has a long history of producing world-class tennis players and 18-year-old Winter is excited to follow in their footsteps at the Adelaide International.
“I can’t wait to take to the court for qualifying and have worked hard to get my game to this level to ensure I can be as competitive as possible,” Winter said.
“This experience will help me to grow and develop my game, regardless of the outcome as these are some of the best players in the world.
“One thing I am really looking forward to is the chance to play at home in front of my family and friends and I am grateful to Tennis Australia for this opportunity.”
Qualifying will start at 10:00 am, with the official draw to take place at 12:00 noon. Practice sessions will also be open to the public on Saturday.
“We are thrilled to be able to support the next generation of local players through opportunities like this,” said Adelaide International Tournament Director, Alistair MacDonald.
“Edward Winter is a promising young talent, just like the South Australian talent that has gone before him, with the likes of Darren Cahill, Mark Woodford, Alicia Molik and Lleyton Hewitt,” Alistair said.
