Demonstrators have renewed calls for Israeli tennis player Shahar Peer's withdrawal from the ASB Classic tournament.

Protesters are planning to renew action against Israeli tennis player Shahar Peer's participation today in Auckland's ASB Classic.

Some of the spectators enjoying the first day of the ASB Classic can remember when the court was grass and you had to bring your own seats.

New Zealand tennis number one Sacha Jones has withdrawn from next week's ASB Classic.

ASB Classic organisers are hopeful they are yet to announce their top seed for the Auckland tennis tournament in January.
