As expected Sacha Jones has been handed the second main draw wildcard for next month's ASB tennis Classic.
The Aucklander joins five times Wimbledon champion Venus Williams as the wildcard recipients.

Wimbledon doubles champions Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik have decided to defend their ASB Classic title.
The duo were recently named WTA doubles team of the year.
