WTA Auckland: Draws and preview

Most of the top players will face each other in Brisbane while Radwanska decided to play her first tournament of the season in Auckland. 

The  other top seeds of the ASB Classic are Goerges (ranked 18th in the world), Wickmayer (23rd) and Zheng (26th).

Last year it was Jie Zheng to win the tournament after Pennetta retired in the 3rd set final. (the score 2-6 6-3 2-0 ret.)
