2021 Phillip Island Trophy

The 2021 Phillip Island Trophy is a tournament on the 2021 WTA Tour, one of six events in the 2021 Melbourne Summer Series. 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 will take place simultaneously with the second week of the 2021 Australian Open.[1]
