Welcome to New Haven, USA! As the last stop of the US Open series, players are looking forward to build last-minute momentum, find last-minute form, or gain last-minute confidence at this stop in New Haven. All players want to peak for the final major of the year, so this week in New Haven is the perfect destination to make necessary adjustments needed for that peak to happen. The doubles draw has a strong line-up, with champions Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka headlining the draw and other established teams such as third-seeded Katarina Srebotnik and Jie Zheng as well as Sania Mirza and Paola Suarez who could be the dark horse. There is also Kimiko Date-Krumm and Agnes Szavay who could do lots of damage in the main draw here in PYW New Haven as both are very popular and Szavay who is just coming back from an injury, they could do some damage in New Haven. With these teams in action and the US Open on the horizon, this tournament will not disappoint! Vote now as the tournament begins!!!
