Connecticut Open Tennis Tournament

Connecticut Open presented by United Technologies is owned by the State of Connecticut and is a not-for-profit 501c3 chartiable organization.  The event has always existed to give back to the community, and has always been much more than a tennis tournament; it is a leading example of leveraging a large-scale international sporting event to generate $10 million dollars in regional economic impact and maximize support for women’s, youth and other causes.  The women’s-only WTA event will be held August 21-29, 2015 at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale, and features five different competitions including WTA qualifying, WTA singles, WTA doubles, Men’s Legends Event presented by Pow, and the US Open National Playoffs Championship.  The Connecticut Open is prominently featured domestically on ESPN2 and is also broadcast in 160 countries around the world.
