There is still some areas to develop and complete, but we now have a fantastic environment to attract the world’s best players, which in turn draws increasing numbers of passionate tennis fans to support the tournaments. Many will recall the fiscal challenges presented by our Chairman Alan Chester at the last AGM. On behalf of the clubs, I congratulate the Board and the management of Tennis Auckland on such a swift and effective recovery. This was achieved with little or no pain on the clubs. The vibrancy of debate in recent months around the plans articulated by Tennis New Zealand has been most encouraging. The clubs have made significant contributions with intelligent and well thought through perspectives. This has facilitated an open and constructive engagement on their plans forward and we all feel we are part of that journey. Sadly, I note the passing in the last year of two outstanding Past Presidents. Nonie Kiely, was also a Life Member of Tennis Auckland.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
