New Zealand players Sacha Jones and Marina Erakovic have been confirmed as the wildcards for the ASB Classic in January
Both players have returned from injuries in 2009 and are keen to put in good performances at their home tournament. It is the first time in two year that Sacha and Marina have been in Auckland at the same time for an official event.
“It’s great to have Sacha and Marina at the upcoming ASB Classic and I’m sure the New Zealand public will really get behind them. Sacha has made a significant step up in her results and will finish the year at a career high ranking. Marina has always risen to the occasion at the ASB Classic, having always won at least one round at the tournament,” says ASB Classic Tournament Director, Brenda Perrry.
Jones and Erakovic have represented New Zealand in Fed Cup for a number of years with Erakovic also taking part in the Olympics in Beijing in 2008.
The ASB Classic will be played at the ASB Tennis Centre January 4-9.
