The 2024 Auckland Open, also known as the ASB Classic for sponsorship purposes, begins on January 1 at the ASB Tennis Centre in Auckland, New Zealand.
The two-week tournament features men’s and women’s singles and doubles draws, both of which have some of the world’s top players as they prepare for the Australian Open, the first grand slam of the 2024 tennis season. However, the women’s tournament is played first, from January 1 to 7, with the men playing during the second week of action.
Let’s take a closer look at the upcoming 2024 ASB Classic tournament so you can bet against ATP betting lines.
2024 ASB Classic Odds, Picks, and Tennis Betting Analysis | MyBookie ATP Betting Preview
2024 ASB Classic | 37th edition of the Auckland Open
ATP Tour 250 series | WTA Tour 250 tournaments
ATP: Monday, January 8th – Sunday, January 14th, 2024 | WTA: Monday, January 1st – Sunday, January 7th, 2024
ASB Tennis Centre, Auckland, New Zealand
2023 Winner: Richard Gasquet
Past Winners
Coco Gauff, who opens the tournament with the shortest odds, is the defending champion. The American, who won her first Grand Slam last year at the US Open, beat Spaniard Rebeka Masarova 6-1, 6-1 in last year’s final. The tournament wasn’t played in 2022 and 2021 due to the pandemic, while Serena Williams won in 2020. An Australian hasn’t won the tournament since Nicole Bradtke in 1995.
The Draw
The top half of the draw for the 2024 ASB Classic features Gauff, the defending champion, as well as other top-eight seeds Emma Navarro (No. 4), Petra Martic (No. 7), and Varvara Gracheva (No. 8). Gauff begins the draw with a first-round match against fellow American Claire Liu. There’s only one Australian (Monique Barry) in the top half of the draw and the entire tournament.
Elina Svitolina (No. 2), Lesia Tsurenko (No. 3), Marie Bouzkova (No. 5), and Xin Wang (No. 6) are the seeded players in the bottom half of the draw. There’s also some intriguing wildcards, including Emma Raducanu and Caroline Wozniacki.
First-Round Previews
Caroline Wozniacki (+105) vs. Elina Svitolina (-135)
In easily one of the most intriguing first-round matches, veteran Wozniacki faces a tough test in advancing to the second round in Svitolina. Wozniacki played just seven matches in 2023, returning to action after having her second child. Svitolina was 21-12 last season and is 4-1 in five career matches against Wozniacki. Svitolina is probably the better bet here.
Xinyu Wang (-115) vs. Yulia Putintseva (-105)
Xinyu Wang and Yulina Putintseva last played in September at the Japan Open, with the former winning a tight three-set battle with two tiebreaks. That was on hard courts, but Wang has historically been the better player on the surface, with a record of 32-17 last year compared to Putintseva’s 19-17 record.
2024 ASB Classic Finals Prediction
Gauff is far and away the best player in the tournament and has the best draw. The bottom half of the draw is much more open with plenty of talented players who have won on the WTA Tour. The winner of Wozniacki and Svitolina is perhaps best primed to make a run and reach the finals.

Tennis Betting Preview and Odds for the ATP 250: Auckland Open Tournament
The 45th edition of the Auckland Open, known as the ASB Classic for sponsorship purposes, got underway on Monday in New Zealand. The ATP 250 event returns after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is being played simultaneously with the Adelaide International 2.
Casper Ruud, world No. 3, headlines the tournament as the first seed. The Norwegian has yet to play this season and will use this event as a tune-up for the Australian Open, which begins next week. He’ll face the winner, Jaume Munar, and Laslo Dere, on Wednesday. The other top seeds at the tournament are 2019 runner-up Cameron Norrie, Diego Schwartzman, and 2014 and 2010 champion John Isner.
Ugo Humbert, the most recent champion at Auckland in 2020, is a wild card entrant in this year’s event. Other past champions include Roberto Bautista Agut (2018 and 2016), Jack Sock (2017), and Jiri Vesely (2015). Let’s have a look at the current ATP Odds to win the 2023 ASB Classic, and some Round of 32 matches to bet on.
ASB Classic Outright Odds
- Casper Ruud +300
- Cameron Norrie +350
- John Isner +800
- Jenson Brooksby +1000
- Alexander Bublik +1200
- Diego Schwartzman +1200
- Marcos Giron +1400
- Richard Gasquet +1600
- David Goffin +2000
- Ugo Humbert +2000
Gregorie Barrere (+150) vs John Isner (-188)
It can be hard to find good value in obvious favorites in early-round scenarios, but -188 is a good number for Isner, who is 1-0 in his career against Gregorie Barrere and is also a two-time champion at Auckland. For what it’s worth, Isner’s victory over Barrere came on clay at the French Open last season, but Isner is also a far superior hard-court player and should be even more comfortable.
Isner is the all-time leader in service aces on the ATP Tour and should pad his lead in that category against Barrere, whom he had 23 aces against in their match at the French Open. Barrere lost his first-round match last week at Adelaide International 1 and advanced to the main draw at Auckland via qualifiers.
Ugo Humbert (-125) vs Christopher Eubanks (+100)
Humbert, a qualifier for this event and past champion, had a somewhat disappointing year in 2022 and didn’t start 2023 off well either, as he lost his first match in qualifiers for the Adelaide International 1. Once ranked as high as world No. 25, he’s now outside of the top 100. Christopher Eubanks, meanwhile, won his two Auckland Open qualifying matches against Dusan Lajovic and Joao Sousa.
Eubanks is just 9-23 in his career on the ATP Tour, but has three titles on the Challenger Tour. The 26-year-old lost his only match against Humbert, but that was way back in 2018, when Humbert won 6-2, 6-3 in Brisbane. Eubanks should have momentum on his side with wins in qualification, while Humbert is still trying to find his game in 2023. Eubanks winning in two sets pays out +240 and is a good value bet.
