Main Draw Set
Date: 2 January 2010
Top-seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta will face off with American Jill Craybas in the opening round of the 2010 ASB Classic.
The main draw pitted the world No 12 against Craybas, who has visited Auckland for the past 12 years, and if results go with seedings, she will find herself facing fourth-seeded Federation Cup team-mate Francesca Shiavone in the semis.
Second seed Li Na of China faces Estonian Kaia Kanepi first up, while (3) Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium and Shiavone meet German Julia Goerges and a qualifier respectively.
Kiwi wildcard Maria Erakovic will end an injury-enforced absence from the WTA Tour against Frenchwoman Alize Cornet, ranked No 50 in the world.
