Defunct men's tennis tournament in the United States
Tennis tournament
The Volvo International , also known as the Pilot Pen International , was a professional
tennis tournament founded in 1972 as the Bretton Woods WCT
[1] it was played on
clay courts to 1984 and on
outdoor hard courts from 1985 to 1998. It was first held at the
Mount Washington Resort in
Bretton Woods, New Hampshire in the United States in 1973 after
Rod Laver had run a successful summer camp there.
[2] The International was originally part of the
Grand Prix tennis circuit until the formation of the
ATP Tour in 1990, when it became part of the
Championship Series until its dissolution.
The event moved to several American locations during its run, including
Mount Cranmore in
North Conway, New Hampshire , from 1975 to 1984,
[3]
Stratton Mountain Resort at
Stratton Mountain, Vermont , from 1985 to 1989, and eventually to
New Haven, Connecticut
[4] from 1990 until 1998, before it was discontinued.
In 2005, the
ATP event at
Long Island (known as the
TD Waterhouse Cup ) was moved to New Haven, where it merged with the
WTA Tour's
Pilot Pen Tennis . The current ATP Pilot Pen event is considered to be a continuation of the Long Island event rather than of the International.
