jack_sock.jpg Jack Sock plays a shot in his semifinal in Auckland in 2016. Sock has a good record in Auckland so he was an inevitable target. "I always love coming back [to Auckland]," said Sock. Sock won his first singles title in Houston last April, and has reached three other finals since (Stockholm, Auckland and Houston again). The ASB Classic will span for two weeks; the women's tournament runs from January 2nd to 7th followed by the men's tournament from January 9-14.
