Twelve years after her last visit to New Zealand, Spanish star Conchita Martinez touched down in Auckland yesterday for the international women's classic next week.
Arriving from Barcelona about noon, the 29-year-old headed straight to a court in Remuera for a light practice session.
Although a little tired from the travel, Martinez, ranked 35th in the world, said she was looking forward to the ASB Bank Classic.
