2016 Connecticut Open
Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale
August 19-27
Ah, August in New Haven Connecticut,
the New "San Diego" of the East.
And the whole tennis world turns to New Haven,
one week before the US Open in a little town 60 miles south of here called New York.
Why?
Shut the front door!
Because, right here in New Haven we
have World Class Women's Tennis,
The Connecticut Open.
Three Time and Defending Champion,Petra Kvitiva, has a chance
to tie for all time New Haven Championships
with one more win. Ms. Kvitiva ties
Venus Williams and Miss New Haven herself,
Caroline Wozniaki with 4 titles.
Ms. Kvitiva
with fans, Sarah Greenblatt and Cheryl Szczarba
In a recent interview with the CT Open, Ms. Kvitiva said that she feels very comfortable in New Haven.
And when she's comfortable?
Keep your eyes on the ball for some
serious, sensational super sweet tennis!
3 Time and defending Champion,
Petra Kvitiva measures up a hot return!
So what about the rest of the players draw?
Well let's say it's deeper than anything you will
hear at a Presidential Convention!
