The last tournament before the US Open was the Premier level Connecticut Open, where Erakovic faced Caroline Garcia in the first round of qualifying singles. Garcia, the third seed in the qualifying tournament, was the winner for the first time in their four meetings, taking the match in straight sets, 6–4, 6–4, with only one service break in each set. The doubles was a different story, with Erakovic and Parra Santonja having nail-biting wins in all three matches on the way to the final. They did not manage even one point against the serve of Garbiñe Muguruza and Carla Suárez Navarro in the first set of their first-round match, but eventually did enough to win 10–6 in the super tie-break. The second match (quarterfinal) was against their old foes Medina Garrigues and Shvedova. Down 0–5, 0–40 in the first set, they were able to win that game (although losing the next) before going on to win another super tie-break 10–7. It became three super tie-breaks from three when beating Caroline Garcia and Monica Niculescu in the semifinal, clawing their way back from 3–8 in the final set to level at 9-all, then going on to win 11–9.
