Tennis tournament
The WTA Auckland Open (currently sponsored by ASB Bank and called the ASB Classic ) is a professional women's tennis tournament in Auckland , New Zealand . The tournament is played annually, in the first week of January, at the ASB Tennis Centre in the suburb of Parnell , just east of the Central Business District. It is an International level tournament in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) World Tour. The equivalent men's event, the ATP Auckland Open , is played in the following week, immediately ahead of the first Grand Slam tournament of the season, the Australian Open .
The Auckland Open is expected to return in 2023 after the 2021 and 2022 events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic owing travel restrictions for international visitors to New Zealand.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Ana Ivanovic of Serbia was the 2014 singles champion
