History of the ASB Classic (Auckland Open)

The tournament was founded in 1886! It is played annually at the ASB Tennis Centre, in Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand. 

The tournament was a joint men’s and women’s event until 1981. It was known under its sponsored name ‘Benson and Hedges Open’ from 1969 until 1995. From 1998 until 2015 it was named the 'Heineken Open’. 

After being separated for 34 years, the WTA and ATP merged the event in 2016 and both tournaments are now known collectively as the ASB Classic (sponsoring Bank). Both the 2021 and 2022 Auckland Open were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Auckland Open returned in 2023.

The tournament was played on outdoor grass courts from its inaugural edition in 1956 until 1977, switching to hard courts in 1978. 

On the WTA's side only Australia's Evonne Goolagong could win it 3 times. The current title holder is Coco Gauff from the USA.
The ATP sees 2 record title holders: Roy Emerson from Australia and David Ferrer from Spain. Both men won the tournament 4 times.
