New Zealand tennis number one Rubin Statham could be forced to miss next month's ASB tennis Classic
30 November 2018
No Kiwis will be handed main draw wildcards this summer meaning Statham will have to play weekend qualifying.
However he's entered in a Challenger tournament the week before in Noumea and if he has a good run there, may not get back in time.
He says it's been a problem for him in the past too where winning several matches in Noumea could see him unable to get back to Auckland in time for ASB Classic qualifying.
Tournament director Karl Budge is expected to hand out his remaining two wildcards for the ASB Classic in the next couple of weeks.
