It was a rainy start to the 2017 Connecticut Open tennis tournament in New Haven, Connecticut. The tournament draw was moved inside to the media center. Children from NewHYTES (New Haven’s Tennis and Education initiative) helped tournament director Anne Worcester, 3-time Connecticut Open champion Petra Kvitova and representatives from Porsche (the official vehicle sponsor) drew numbers to fill out the draw sheet.
After 5 hours of rain delays, the qualifying matches for the tournament started and spectators enjoyed the return of womens professional tennis to the Elm City.
There’s a lot of fun activities for families to enjoy at this year’s Connecticut Open and they start on Sunday with ShopRite Kids Day! Sunday kicks off the first round of matches and the first 1,000 kids receive a goody bag!
On Monday, August 21, there is a free USPTA lesson during Session 2 from 1-4pm. Don't miss the
Opening Night Ceremony during Session 3 (starts at 7 pm) which will have star players, local celebrities and entertainment.
Individual Stadium Box seat tickets for Sunday start at $27 and family 4-packs are $85.
