The 38-year-old world No. 4th, who won the event in 2007 and 2023, returns for the ATP-WTA tournament from January 12 to 17 ahead of the year’s first Grand Slam in Melbourne.

Djokovic, chasing a record 25th major, has cut back on tour appearances but still claimed titles in Geneva and Athens this year. Other Adelaide entrants include Jack Draper, Joao Fonseca, Tommy Paul and Stefanos Tsitsipas, while defending Australian Open champion Madison Keys headlines the women’s field alongside Jessica Pegula, Mirra Andreeva and Ekaterina Alexandrova.
