The ASB Classic looks set to be an ace tournament next year, with former World Number One Ana Ivanovic joining headline acts Venus Williams and Caroline Wozniacki.
Grand Slam Champion Ivanovic will be hoping for a repeat set when she returns, having beaten Williams to take out the ASB Classic in 2014.
“It’s amazing. Three former World Number Ones, three Grand Slam champions and two former winners in one year is an incredible result. Our strongest yet,” says Tournament Director, Karl Budge.
“Having Ana join Venus and Caroline was something we never thought was possible. The crowds can expect to be wowed by some great on court battles, as well as a good dose of glamour.”
