ASB Classic Auckland, NEW ZEALAND Jan 05 - Jan 10, 2014
Tournament Info
Tier: International
Prize Money: $250,000
Surface: Hard
Director: Karl Budge
The formation of what now is known as the ASB Classic occurred when Ari Hallenberg and Global Sports saw a hole in the marketplace and asked Tennis New Zealand about creating an event in Auckland.
The first staging was held in 1985 as part of the 1986 tour and it moved to its current pre-Australian Open spot on the calendar, New Zealand's lone stop, in 1996. Champs at the tournament - staged at the ASB Tennis Arena - include Marion Bartoli, Lindsay Davenport, Elena Dementieva, Jelena Jankovic, Agnieszka Radwanska and Ana Ivanovic.
Auckland, also known as the City of Sails, features black sand beaches, endless water activities and fantastic dining options. It is the largest and most populous urban region in New Zealand.
Kristina Mladenovic's stunning first round win over Li Na in Paris 2014
After a stellar junior career, highlighted by a French Open triumph in 2009, there were high hopes for Kristina Mladenovic when she joined the senior ranks. However, this expectation has weighed heavily on the young Frenchwoman, whose ranking has yo-yoed since graduating to the WTA.
The start of 2014 was particularly lean and she went into her first round meeting with No.2 seed Li Na in Paris with just a handful of wins to her name. If she was short on confidence, it did not show, as she took the match to the former champion from the off. An accomplished doubles player, Mladenovic took every opportunity to exhibit her all-court skills, venturing to the net to fend off a set point at 5-4 before returning a couple of games later to help serve it out. "After the draw I wasn't very happy, but I made sure I prepared as well as I could and was ready to play my best tennis," Mladenovic said. "When I got on court, I thought, 'I'm at home, be positive.'" Mladenovic targeted Li's misfiring forehand throughout and it was a tactic that paid rich dividends. "I tried to get my forehand into play and attack her forehand whenever I could and it worked well. I'm really glad I could produce such good tennis in front of all these supporters!"

Mylan WTT Smash Hits presented by Walgreens and AmerisourceBergen. Sunday, December 7, 2014
Mylan WTT Smash Hits presented by Walgreens and AmerisourceBergen, a star-studded charity tennis event co-hosted by Sir Elton John and WTA founder and legend Billie Jean King, will take place this coming Sunday, December 7, 2014 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Eight WTA and ATP World Tour stars will be in action, and split into two teams - Martina Hingis, Heather Watson, Andy Roddick and John McEnroe will be on Team Elton, while Kim Clijsters, Sabine Lisicki, Jamie Murray and Tim Henman will be on Team Billie Jean. The teams will go head-to-head in five matches - women's doubles, men's doubles, women's singles, mixed doubles and men's singles.
The matches will follow World TeamTennis format - each match will feature one set with the first to five games, or a nine-point tie-break at 4-all. Game scoring is no-ad and let serves are playable.
Team Elton currently leads the overall head-to-head, 11-10 - can Team Billie Jean even it up? Mylan WTT Smash Hits benefits the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Since 1993, Mylan WTT Smash Hits has raised over $12 million for the Elton John AIDS Foundation and various AIDS charities throughout the US. This is the first time in the event's 22-year history that it will be staged outside the US.
