Budge has confirmed he has a number of players locked away with the first
announcement early next month.
He says it's always nice when you board the plane feeling very confident with
where you are at.
Budge says it's certainly a big couple of weeks to get things on paper and
put the finishing touches on what they think is shaping up to be two pretty
outstanding fields.
Karl Budge says Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki, US Open champ
Sloane Stephens and defending champion Julia Goerges
all want to return for the women's tournament.
But they are all ranked in the top 10 and under tour rules the ASB Classic is
only allowed one top 10 ranked female player.
TENNIS WITH CROWN FORKLIFTS. WHEN IT COMES TO FORKLIFTS, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE
A CROWN.
