Yanina Wickmayer's always enjoyed the ASB Classic, but now she's even more comfortable following the upgrade to Auckland's premier tennis venue.
The 2010 champion and 2011 runner up returns to Stanley Street, after a $26 million upgrade to the arena.
The Belgian seventh seed says the ASB Tennis Arena is now world class.
She says it's nice to come to an event where you can practice as you like, and from a preparation point of view, everything on offer is perfect.
Wickmayer faces a qualifier in the first round of the tournament, which starts tomorrow.
