The men of the ATP World Tour and the Women of the comparable WTA World Tour will be heading to New Haven, Connecticut, for one more chance to earn some US Open points, allowing some to compete for even more prize money as a bonus at the US Open, which is the final Grand Slam of the 2009 Tournament Calender. The tournament in New Haven will allow a 48 person draw for the men and 32 for the women. The men just finished up with the Western and Southern Financial Group Masters while the most recent WTA Tournament was the Rogers Cup, a juxtaposition of the two tournaments, which had the Rogers first for the men, followed by the W & S Financial Group Masters.

 

 

With the US Open just a few short days away both the men and the women are bringing their all. A few of the ATP Players to watch include Sam Querrey who has won three finals this summer, including the L.A. Tournament, he stands a good chance of winning the tournament in New Haven. Mardy Fish is also hoping to take home the trophy as he plays in this tournament for the fifth time. The last two times he competed he finished as runner up, so he will be hoping for one better this time. Tommy Robredo is coming to the Pilot Pen Tennis tournament for what will be his third time. He hasn't come close to winning yet, but was in the quarter finals his first time in the tournament in 2005.

 

 

As for the women, keep an eye on Svetlana Kuznetsova. She took home the title in 2007. She's the number one seed for this tournament while another Russian, Nadia Petrova is seeded fourth. The number two seed is Caroline Wozniacki, who will be defending her 2008 title and the number three seed is Carla Suarez Navarro.
