Caroline Wozniacki returns for a sixth crack at the ASB Classic

Updated: 3 Oct, 2018

Another coup for Auckland’s ASB women’s tennis Classic with Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki letting slip on social media that’s she’s returning for a sixth crack at the title this summer.

Wozniacki who is in Beijing at the China Open made the announcement on Facebook.

“I cant wait to start my 2019 year in one of my favourite cities for the ASB Classic. Such a fun place to play. Going one better in 2019! See my kiwi fans soon,” she said.

The 28-year-old Dane was always a target for tournament director Karl Budge, but the fact she’s now a Grand Slam champion had her in even more demand and tournament director Karl Budge is relieved to get her over the line.

“It’s nice that’s she’s excited about coming back and wanting to talk about it and nice to have a Grand Slam champion and former world number one coming back to Auckland.” Budge said.

The tournament now has two of the most recognisable faces in tennis with Wozniacki and seven times Grand Slam champion Venus Williams also confirmed.

The duo have spent a combined 88 weeks at world number one. Wozniacki is a superstar of the sport having amassed more than $31 million USD in prize money and capturing 29 WTA titles. She has featured on the cover of dozens of international publications such as Elle, Sports Illustrated and Cosmopolitan.

One senses Wozniacki’s return was never really in doubt. She has formed a close friendship with Budge over the years, dating back to his time working for the WTA Tour.

But more than that, the 28 year old is a real competitor who is desperate to claim the title in Auckland having lost two finals, this year to German Julia Goerges and in 2015 to Venus Williams.

“She definitely wants to lift this trophy and when we look back at the superstars we have had here Caroline has been the most consistent performer. When you are weighing up who to go after , having someone who you know is going to be hitting balls in anger on Thursday or Friday is an attractive proposition for us,” Budge said.

It’s testament to the pulling power of the Auckland tournament which relies more on the good old fashioned Kiwi hospitality, proximity to the tournament hotel and attractions to lure players, plus the desire of those involved to ensure no stone is left unturned in making sure the players needs are looked after.

“It’s a great statement as to how the ASB Classic is viewed among the players. It’s like test driving a car and once we have them in the car they tend to purchase it and we have had that with Caroline and is a great position to have one of the top two or three female athletes in sport deciding she wants to come back to the ASB Classic every year,” Budge said.

The rival Brisbane International is a WTA Premier series tournament carries four times the prize money of Auckland and considerably more ranking points while the Shenzhen tournament in China also in the same week has double the prize money.

Wozniacki captured her maiden Grand Slam title in January’s Australian Open final against world number Simona Halep, in a match that has gone down as one of the best in the Open era. She went on to reach the semi finals at the WTA Premier tournament in Doha in February and won the traditional Wimbledon warm up at Eastbourne.

Budge is targeting more big name players with last year’s French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko another possibility while he is also chasing the signature of former world number one Victoria Azarenka who signed last year as a wildcard but pulled out due to child custody issues.

Defending champion Goerges is currently ranked 10 and under tour rules allowing only one top ten ranked player into the Auckland field, won’t be able to return unless she slips out of the top ten. The German has a lot of ranking points to defend between now and the end of the season and that scenario is likely.

Budge believes the field to be finalised late next month will be stronger than Shenzhen which has double the ranking points and prize money.

Keith Richards’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Keith Richards Net Worth: Keith Richards is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who has a net worth of $500 million. He is best known as the co-founder, guitarist, secondary vocalist, and one of the songwriters for The Rolling Stones. As of this writing, The Stones have sold more than 200 million records worldwide. The band still tours consistently to this day, nearly every year. For example, in 2018 the band earned $117 million off just 14 shows. Keith and band mate Mick Jagger have written nearly all of the bands’ original music. Early Life and Career Beginnings: Richards was born on December 18, 1943 in Dartford, Kent, England, as the only child to parents Doris Maud Lydia (née Dupree) and Herbert William Richards. His maternal grandfather, Augustus Theodore “Gus” Dupree, was also a musician. He toured Britain with his jazz big band, Gus Depree and His Boys, and it was him that nurtured Richards’ interest in music, the guitar in particular. Dupree was the one who gave Richards his first guitar. Richards was childhood friends with Mick Jagger, as the pair attended Wentworth Primary School together. They were even neighbors until the Richards family moved in 1954. Eventually, several years later, the pair reunited when Richards ran into Jagger on a train as Jagger headed to classes at the London School of Economics. Jagger was carrying albums from Chess Records by Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters, and the pair rekindled their friendship over their shared musical interests. They also shared a mutual friend, Dick Taylor. Richards had met Taylor while at Sidcup Art College, and Jagger knew Taylor from the amateur band they were in, Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys, which Richards joined soon thereafter. The Blue Boys ended after Brian Jones invited Jagger and Richards to the Bricklayers Arms pub, where they met Ian Stewart and bonded over their shared interest in blues music. The Rolling Stones: With Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica, keyboards), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica), Bill Wyman (bass guitar), Charlie Watts (drums) and Ian Stewart (piano), Richards (guitar, vocals) joined the first lineup of the band that became known as The Rolling Stones. They signed to Decca Records in 1963. Since Jones’ departure from the band in 1969, Jagger and Richards have shared the primary songwriting and production duties for the band, for which they are credited as “the Glimmer Twins”. Richards has also been called the bandleader of The Stones by former member Ian Stewart. Unlike in other bands, where the drummer sets the pace, Richards and his guitar fill that role instead. The Rolling Stones have released over 100 albums over their long career, including 30 studio albums, and performed more than 2000 concerts globally. Solo Career and Other Ventures: Outside of The Rolling Stones, Richards has pursued several solo projects. His first solo single, a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Run Rudolph Run”, was released in 1978. After Jagger pursued a solo career in 1987, Richards formed the group the “X-Pensive Winos” with co-writer and co-producer Steve Jordan. The first Winos record, “Talk Is Cheap”, has gone gold since its release, and was followed by the first of Richards’ solo American tours. The Winos’ second album, “Main Offender”, was released in 1992, also followed by a tour. Despite the Winos being a group effort, with Waddy Wachtel (guitarist), Bobby Keys (saxophonist), Ivan Neville (keyboardist) and Charley Drayton (bass) in addition to Steven Jordan, both records are credited to Richards as a solo artist. Richards’ third studio album was released in September 2015, named “Crosseyed Heart”. Richards is not only an accomplished musician, but a widely recognized producing talent as well. Aside from his production efforts for The Stones alongside Jagger, Richards has accumulated many production and co-production credits on projects with artists such as Aretha Franklin, Johnnie Johnson, and Ronnie Spector. He even has his own record label, Mindless Records, where he released the track “Wingless Angels” in 1997, a track which he co-produced. In addition to music, Richards had a brief foray into the world of acting. After Johnny Depp states that his characters in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie franchise is loosely based on Richards and the Warner Bros. cartoon character Pepe Le Pew, Richards played the role of Captain Edward Teague in the third installment of the series, “At World’s End” (2007). He later reprised his role in the 2011 fourth installment, “On Stranger Tides”. Personal Life: Richards has a certain reputation for illicit drug use, stemming back in part to a series of drug busts during the late 1960s and 1970s, as well as his own open expression of his use of heroin, among other substances. He has been tried on drug-related charges five times: once in 1967, twice in 1973, once in 1977, and once in 1978. In 2016, he stated that he still occasionally drinks alcohol and consumes cannabis. From 1967 to 1979, Richards was romantically involved with Italian-born actress Anita Pallenberg. The couple have a son, born in 1969, and a daughter, born in 1972. Their third son passed away just over two months after his births of sudden infant death syndrome on June 6, 1976. Richards and his wife Patti Hansen met in 1979, and married on December 18, 1983. Together, the couple have two daughters, born in 1985 and 1986. Real Estate and Other Assets: Richards has a collection of approximately 3000 guitars. He owns multiple properties, including Redlands, a Sussex estate he bought in 1966. for 313,000 pounds. Actress Cate Blanchett purchased a nearby property in the East Sussex area for $4.68 million. Richards owns a home in Weston, Connecticut, which is his primary residence, and a property on the private resort island Parrot Cay, in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
