Alternative dates and formats are being considered for the ASB Classic. With Covid-19 continuing to create headaches across the sporting landscape, organisers of tennis' ASB Classic are working through multiple contingencies for the 2021 tournament. ASB Classic tournament director Karl Budge said they still needed more clarity on the entire global schedule for the early part of next year, but confirmed up to three additional time-slots were on the table for their event. On top of that, Budge said they were looking at the potential to run the event in a new way. Budge said the announcement from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern that the Wallabies would be able to train as a full squad soon after they arrived gave him optimism for the ASB Classic.
