Australians Samantha Stosur, Ajla Tomljanovic and Olivia Gadecki have been awarded the final three Adelaide International wildcards for next week's tournament.

They join world No.1 Ash Barty, who will defend her title, with play getting underway Monday at Memorial Drive Tennis Centre.

Veteran Stosur will travel to Adelaide after playing in the Australian Open mixed doubles final with compatriot Matt Ebden.

Tomljanovic enters the tournament in impressive form having stretched world No.2 Simona Halep to three sets in their second round match at Melbourne Park.

Gadecki, 18, made her WTA main draw debut at last month's Gippsland Trophy in Melbourne and enjoyed a maiden win against world No.4 Sofia Kenin.

The current entry list for the second edition of the Adelaide International includes French Open champion Iga Swiatek of Poland, Switzerland's world No.12 Belinda Bencic and British world No.14 Johanna Konta.

Storm Sanders, Kim Birrell, Ivana Popovic and Belinda Woolcock have been awarded wildcards for the qualifying draw starting Sunday.
