“This event will always be special to me as I played my first tournament on the WTA Tour here last June and I can’t wait to go back,” she added.

Birmingham-born Evans has been a consistent presence in the top 40 of the ATP rankings since January 2020 and won his first ATP title when he claimed victory in the Murray River Open in Melbourne in February 2021.
