United Technologies serves up Connecticut Open extension

Building and aerospace industries technology specialist United Technologies has renewed its presenting sponsorship of the Connecticut Open Women’s Tennis Association tournament.

The deal is for three years and runs from this year’s event until 2017.

The 2015 Connecticut Open takes place from August 21-29 as part of the US Open Series, with world no.2 Petra Kvitova (pictured) set to defend her title.

At this year’s tournament, United Technologies will be the presenting sponsor of the Connecticut Open’s Military Appreciation Night on Monday, August 24.

All active duty, guard, reserve, and retired military members will receive two free tickets, the opportunity to purchase an additional two tickets for $10 (€9.16) apiece and have access to the United Technologies-sponsored Military Outpost on site. Military personnel will be eligible for “buy one, get one free” offers on stadium box seats for select sessions for the rest of the tournament.
