“Again, feedback from the players has been full of praise – especially from those who had the opportunity to get out and enjoy our coastline, wildlife experiences, and world-renowned food and beverage.
“The action continues in South Australia with the Santos Tour Down Under racing for another week, which is closely followed by LIV Golf Adelaide swinging into town in February.”

“Thank you to the fans for their support and helping us achieve record crowds. It has been the best tournament yet.
“We are happy with the popularity of the new addition, the Court Yard in Pinky Flat which gave people of all ages the chance to pick up a racquet and have a hit of beach tennis, pickleball and pop tennis.
“This versatile tennis hub was all about encouraging young people to step away from their devices and get active. From seasoned junior players to absolute newcomers, we’ve created an environment where everyone can find their place on the court and we look forward to seeing this grow.”
