Welcome to Hobart, Australia! The tour returned last week. This week Hobart is the smaller of two Australian tour stops. Yet many players try to get into the field, which leads to a nice line-up in the tournament. Defending champion Jie Zheng is out injured, who will replace her as the Queen of Hobart. It's all up to you. Vote Now as the Moorrilla Hobart International starts off with the qualifying!
