Why the ASB Classic matters in 2026
The ASB Classic runs in Auckland, New Zealand from 12–17 Jan, played on medium-paced hard court. Bounces and pace sit between clay and grass, which rewards all-court players who can defend, attack and serve in roughly equal measure. It is an ATP 250 / WTA 250 event. The singles champion takes ranking points and prize money, and a useful chunk of the season prize pool.
