The ASB Classic is a tennis tournament held in Auckland, New Zealand. Held since 1986, this WTA Tour event is a Tier IV-tournament and is played on outdoor hardcourts on the first week of the year.
At the 2008 tournament, the courts were changed to a blue Plexicushion surface, replacing the green Rebound Ace. This was consistent with the surface change that was also implemented at the Australian Open.
