Posted July 20, 2022 7:00 am
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) - World TeamTennis, the mixed-gender league co-founded nearly a half-century ago by Billie Jean King, will not have a season in 2022 but plans to return next year.
WTT announced Wednesday that it is hoping to add new teams by 2023. The expansion fee is $1 million per franchise.
The league held single-site seasons during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021, and intends to return to matches played at teams' home courts.
