Petra Kvitova gets 3rd New Haven Title!
While the heat just wrapped up on another tennis tournament 60 miles down the road (about 3 hour drive) at the US Open Tennis, we are cleaning up after our weeklong #WTA Connecticut Open.
This year's field, the strongest and deepest since 2001, had many exciting and memorable matches! Sometimes a lopsided women's match could last less than an hour. Almost all matches went three sets under a weeklong of gorgeous weather here in the Greatest Small City in America, New Haven Connecticut! #gscia! Home of New Haven style pizza. For a short recap of the 2015 Connecticut Open, and video check, out the link below on for a peek at another successful year! Thanks again to Tournament Director Anne Worcester, who once again pulled off an amazing field of 8 of the top 15 women tennis players in the World!

The 2015 Connecticut Open!
For your musical pleasure, and as a tribute to these World Class Women Athletes, who travel for their living, entertaining adoring fans. I heard this song after seeing a tweet from 2015 Connecticut Champion, Petra Kvitova upon arriving home.
Reflecting on a good year, and her best ever in the US Open, (battling mono for 2 months) but she said how it is nice to get back home.

Dominika Cibulkova wowed
us with winners!
It was Hot! See the heat popping
off of her (bottom right of photo)
Thanks for coming Dominika!
Another popular player,
Eugenie Bouchard from Canada,
got ousted earlier than she would have liked.
Wish her a speedy recovery as she suffered
a concussion when she slipped in the
locker room at the US Open.

possibly done to deserve that look!
Get healthy and thanks for coming to
New Haven!
Genie casts a long shadow!
Twinkle toes totally treat!
And wow, Roberta Vinci, a seasoned and feisty
Italian, who also is a great doubles player,
beat Venus Williams in a 3 set stunner
at the +US Open Tennis Championships
With moves like this
I thought she had what it takes to win
the Connecticut Open.
Tenere per raggiungere le stelle Roberta!
Nice job at the US Open and

And when past Champion Simona Halep had
to bail due to injury, that meant there was
a "Lucky Loser" who gets into the draw.
And she made an impression in New Haven but lost only to New Haven finalist Lucie Safarova.
Lucky Loser Lesia Tsurenko,
had the luck of this Irish Ukrainian (me)!
Nike owes you a big raise!
Thanks for coming to New Haven!
