Entry List ASB Classic Auckland 2025 including Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka, Madison Keys and Amanda Anisimova
WTA
The Entry List has been confirmed for the 2025 ASB Classic which is due to take place between December 30 - January 11, 2025 albeit with defending champion Coco Gauff not returning.
A usual haunt for Gauff, she defeated Elina Svitolina last year 6-7, 6-3, 6-3 to win the title. It was a seventh career title and first since winning the 2023 US Open. It was also the first time that Gauff had defended a title in her career.
But alas, it will not be a three peat for the American who has instead decided to play United Cup instead of going to New Zealand. Interestingly though as was the case last year, it is full of players wanting a return to the top.
Headlined by Madison Keys, it will also feature Elise Mertens, Amanda Anisimova and also Naomi Osaka. The former World No.1 has a point to prove. Into the second year of her return, she has performed at times and also flattered to deceive at others.
Albeit the issue is when she gets on a roll, she gets tripped up as was the case at the China Open leading Coco Gauff and then getting injured which derailed the remainder of her 2024 season. But with new coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, that stage is there to set up a return up the rankings and with minimal money to defend, it is very much an upward trajectory.
Emma Raducanu returns again like others with a point to prove.
The same of sorts can be said for Emma Raducanu who ended the season near perfectly for confidence. After some months out with injury and a lot of doubts levied at her head, she returned at the Billie Jean King Cup and was excellent. Albeit representing herself over her country in this one, Raducanu will hope to perhaps play more in 2025 after a stop start year did nothing but dent the confidence.
She lost last year to Elina Svitolina on her return to the sport. While Anisimova also lost to Marie Bouzkova. Both returned this time last year and both play Auckland again.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA.

- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
