SLAM HISTORY
ASB Classic, Auckland
The first tournament was held in 1964, 60 years ago, and legendary Australian female player Margaret SMITH (later - Margaret COURT) was the first winner. The event occurs during the first week of the year, one week before the Auckland men's tournament. In 2008, the courts were changed to a blue plexicushion surface, replacing the green Rebound Ace. It was consistent with the surface change that was also implemented at the Australian Open. In 2021-2022, the tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
