In terms of quantity and quality, it is the strongest list of early entries the Pilot Pen has ever had on the women's side. I think that instead of being a last-minute decision about playing the week before the U.S. Open, the players who have played the Pilot Pen previously have learned that it really works for them, and therefore they work it into their schedule far in advance of the U.S. Open.
