CAROLINE WOZNIACKI RETURNS FOR A SIXTH CRACK AT THE ASB CLASSIC

Updated: Oct 3, 2018

Another blow for the ASB Auckland Women’s Tennis Classic with Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki leaking on social media that she is returning for a sixth title shot this summer.

Wozniacki who is in Beijing at the China Open made the announcement on Facebook.

“I can’t wait to start my 2019 year in one of my favorite cities for the ASB Classic. Such a fun place to play. Get better in 2019! See my kiwi fans soon,” she says.

The 28-year-old Dane has always been a target for Tournament Director Karl Budge, but the fact that she is now Grand Slam champion had demanded her even more and Tournament Director Karl Budge is relieved to pass it.

“It’s good that she’s excited to be back and wants to talk about it and that a Grand Slam champion and former world number one is coming back to Auckland.” Budge said.

The tournament now has two of the most recognizable faces in tennis with Wozniacki and seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams also confirmed.

The duo spent a combined 88 weeks at world number one. Wozniacki is a sports superstar having amassed over $31 million in prize money and captured 29 WTA titles. She has appeared on the cover of dozens of international publications such as Elle, Sports Illustrated and Cosmopolitan.

We feel that Wozniacki’s return was never really in doubt. She has formed a close friendship with Budge over the years, dating back to her time working for the WTA Tour.

But more than that, the 28-year-old is a real contender who is desperate to win the title in Auckland after losing two finals, this year to Germany’s Julia Goerges and in 2015 to Venus Williams.

“She really wants to lift this trophy and when we look at the superstars we’ve had here, Caroline has been the most consistent performer. When you think about who to go to, having someone who you know is going to hit the balls in anger on Thursday or Friday is an attractive proposition for us,” Budge said.

This speaks to the pulling power of the Auckland tournament which relies more on good old fashioned Kiwi hospitality, proximity to the tournament hotel and attractions to attract players, as well as the desire of those involved to s to ensure that no stone is left unturned to ensure players’ needs are catered for.

“It’s a great statement on how the ASB Classic is viewed by players. It’s like trying to drive a car and once we get them in the car they tend to buy it and we had it with Caroline and it’s a great position for one of the two or three top female athletes in the sport decides she wants to come back. at the ASB Classic every year,” Budge said.

Rival Brisbane International is a WTA Premier Series tournament that nets Auckland four times the prize money and significantly more ranking points, while the Shenzhen tournament in China also in the same week has doubled the prize money.

Wozniacki won her first Grand Slam title in the Australian Open final in January against world number Simona Halep, in a match that became one of the best of the Open era. She then reached the semi-finals of the WTA Premier tournament in Doha in February and won the traditional Wimbledon warm-up in Eastbourne.

Budge is targeting more big-name players with last year’s French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko another possibility, as he is also in the hunt for the signing of former world number one Victoria Azarenka who signed last year as a wild card but pulled out due to child custody issues.

Defending champion Goerges is currently ranked 10 and under tour rules only allowing one top ten ranked player on the Auckland pitch, she will not be able to return unless she drops out of the top ten. The German has a lot of ranking points to defend by the end of the season and this scenario is likely.

Budge believes the pitch to be finalized at the end of next month will be stronger than Shenzhen, which doubled in ranking points and prize money.
