The ATP season will remain Down Under following the conclusion of events at Adelaide, as several superstars will move to Auckland for the ASB Classic, a precursor to the Australian Open.
An ATP 250 event, the ASB Classic was postponed after the 2020 edition due to the pandemic. As it celebrates it's return to the circuit from January 9-15, World No.3 Casper Ruud will headline the slew of stars storming Auckland in preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year.
Joining the top seed is the in-form Cameron Norrie, as well as the Argentine duo of Diego Schwartzman and Sebastian Baez. American veteran John Isner is also scheduled to compete, alongside the ever-entertaining Alexander Bublik.
The prize pool will feature a total of $713,495 to be won, with several players looking to make their mark at the start of the season. Below is the prize breakdown.
