Spain's Tommy Robredo has been confirmed for January's Heineken Open tennis tournament in Auckland.
He is the sixth player ranked inside the world top 20, making the line-up the best the tournament has offered.
The world number 17 has had another consistent year, reaching the third round or better at all four Grand Slams. He made semifinals in Buenos Aires, quarter-finals in Barcelona and the ATP Masters 1000 event in Cincinnati, as well as the finals in Umag, Shenzhen and Valencia.
Robredo pulled off big wins against top 10 players Marin Cilic, Richard Gasquet and most notably a victory over world No 1 Novak Djokovic at the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati.
However, it has been the second half of the season that has ensured Robredo remained in the world's top 20.
