2021 Grampians Trophy

The 2021 Grampians Trophy is a tournament on the 2021 WTA Tour. It is played on outdoor hard courts in Melbourne, Australia. It was organised as a lead-up tournament to the 2021 Australian Open, and will be held at the same venue, due to other tournaments in Australia being cancelled as a result from the COVID-19 pandemic. This tournament was created for players who had originally intended to participate in the 2021 Yarra Valley Classic or the 2021 Gippsland Trophy, but were forced to undergo strict quarantine measures upon arrival in Australia due to confirmed COVID-19 cases found on several of the chartered player flights to Australia.[1]
