Tournament Preview: New Haven 22-28 August 2005

FIRST ATP EVENT FOR NEW HAVEN

2005 sees New Haven host an ATP tournament for the first time, following its purchase by the USTA. It replaces the event 
previously held at Long Island and, joining the existing WTA tournament, will be the only combined ATP and WTA event of 
the Summer series leading up to the US Open. Between 19 and 28 August, fans will be able to enjoy high class tennis from 
the world's top male and female players as they battle it out at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale. World number 7, 
Nikolay Davydenko of Russia heads a star-studded ATP field of 48, which also includes rising French teen, Richard Gasquet; 
German heartthrob, Tommy Haas and Olympic gold medalist, Nicolas Massu of Chile. The women will be led by world number 1, 
Lindsay Davenport; reigning US Open champion, Svetlana Kuznetsova, and French star, Amelie Mauresmo. 

Qualifying will be held on Friday 19 August and Saturday 20 August and the main draw will commence on Sunday 21 August, 
culminating in the finals on Sunday 28 August. Day sessions from 19-26 August will commence at 10am with gates opening at 
9am and evening sessions will commence at 7pm (except Friday 26th which begins at 7.30pm) with gates opening at 5pm. Semi 
finals day will start at 1pm, with gates opening at 11am, and the evening session will start at 7.30pm. The final Sunday 
will start at 12 noon with gates opening at 10am. 
Tickets may be purchased from the ticket hotline on 1-888-99-PILOT or online from the tournament site 
www.pilotpentennis.com. Travel packages are also available through the site, however it is recommended you book these in 
advance as they sell out very quickly. Seating options are varied, from box seats to middle tier seats, all of which can 
be viewed on the stadium plan: http://www.pilotpentennis.com/images/stadium4.gif
The Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale is located at 45 Yale Avenue, New Haven and can be reached by turning left on

If you're planning to spend a few days in New Haven, you might want to combine some tennis watching with some sightseeing. 
If so, be sure to take in all cultural attractions New Haven has to offer with its churches, historical museums and 
monuments. The 2005 Jazz Festival is also being held Saturday 20 August, serving as a great way to kick start a week
