Top 10 Reasons to Go to the Connecticut Open

1. Accessible world-class tennis action.
The Connecticut Open presented by United Technologies, is a premier WTA tennis tournament and warm-up for the USOpen. It’s an amazing chance to see the stars up-close… Some of the greats who played in 2014 were World No. 3 Simona Halep, World No. 2 Petra Kvitova, and World No. 5 Caroline Wozniacki. This year Petra Kvitova returns and Rising Star Madison Keys joins in along with many others!

2. Watching the top players compete will improve your game.
I don’t know about you, but my game would improve watching any of the women in the top 1000, never mind the top 20, 10 or 5.
