Do any SEC facilities host ATP or WTA events?

I confess to knowing nothing about tennis as it falls during baseball and softball season.

Not sure what a USTA event it but UK is site for the Fifth Third (5/3) Bank Tennis Championships. It is held in the summer and it is billed as a $100,000 event. Read the USTA hosts 94 events that range from 10K to 100 K so the one in Lexington is at the top of that range. Seems like before the financial meltdown of 2008 they were talking about it being a $300,000 event but not sure that ever happened or if it was downgraded to $100,000 back then.
