The match will be played in Adelaide, Australia, at the Memorial Drive Tennis Centre, a hard-court complex that regularly hosts WTA-level events ahead of the Australian Open.

Yulia Putintseva and Dalma Galfi have had limited head-to-head meetings on the main WTA Tour, with no high-profile encounters recorded at Grand Slams or Premier-level events in the last year.
