Three men's players who will be playing in next month's Pilot Pen Tennis tournament will play for titles on Sunday.

Jeremy Chardy, a talented 22-year-old Frenchman, will be playing in his second career ATP final and looking for his first title when he faces fellow Pilot Pen commit Victor Hansecu at the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart, Germany.

Hanescu, whose only previous ATP title came at Gstaad, Switzerland in 2008, is in both the singles and doubles final.

Juan Monaco upset Tommy Robredo in the semifinals at Bastad, Sweden on Saturday and will play Robin Soderling in the final. All three of Monaco's career ATP titles came in 2007.

Pilot Pen commits are also prevelant in the two WTA events this week.

Three of the four semifinalists (Sybille Bammer, Francesca Schiavone and Iveta Benesova) at the Prague (Czech Republic) Open are planning to come to New Haven.

At the event in Palermo, Italy, all four semifinalists are on the list of entries into New Haven although only Flavia Pennetta is in the main draw. Sara Errani, who earned a spot in tomorrow's final with a win over Anna-Lena Groenefeld, joins Groenefeld and Tathania Garbin as players on the Pilot Pen alternate list.

STEPHENS WINS AGAIN
Sloane Stephens, the talented 16-year-old American who made news by beating Venus Williams in a World Team Tennis match earlier this month, won her WTT singles match against Vania King on Friday although Stephens; New York Buzz team lost to the Springfield Lasers.

Stephens has requested a qualifying wild card into the Pilot Pen and assuming she received a main draw wild card into the U.S. Open, expect to see her at the Connecticut Tennis Center next month. If Stephens doesn't get into the main draw of the Open, she won't be able to play in New Haven since the U.S. Open qualifying tournament is held at the same time as the Pilot Pen.
