After several years of anti-climaxes in the ASB Classic men's final, today's decider between Jack Sock and Joao Sousa promises to be a match worthy of its name. "Unfortunately not all of my matches are live on television at home but I get a lot of support," said Sousa. After last year's virus on the eve of the final, Sock declared himself fit to play today. "I'm feeling better than last year, looking forward to feeling healthy out there and giving it my best shot, said Sock. Sock and Sousa have met once before, with Sousa winning in three sets on the Madrid clay.
