World #27 Cirstea joining ASB Classic

By: Matt Brown | Latest Tennis News | Wednesday October 24 2012 12:57

 

ASB Tennis Classic tournament director Karl Budge is hoping his latest signing will eventually lead to Ana Ivanovic playing in Auckland.

Romanian world number 27 Sorana Cirstea is the second signing announced for the Classic, after world number four Agnieska Radwanska.

Cirstea is best friends with Ivanovic who Budge hopes will play here in 2014.

Karl Budge says Cirstea is a top player in her own right.

"She's playing really consistent tennis so I think she's a good name for us to get here and a lot of personality, she's a good looking girl as well which always helps, so we're happy to have her services."

Meanwhile Budge says he is still in negotiations with defending Heineken Open champion David Ferrer about returning to Auckland.

An announcement could come next week.
