Venus And Serena Headline World Team Tennis
Wednesday, February 11, 2009
Serena Williams, who last weekend claimed her 10th major title by winning the Australian Open, will return to Washington this summer to play for the city's World TeamTennis franchise, the Washington Kastles.
And Venus Williams will also visit Washington to face the Kastles as the marquee player for the Philadelphia Freedoms.
Serena's selection as the top pick in the marquee player draft was announced yesterday, and it represents a coup for team owner Mark Ein, who brought the franchise to town last summer.
Other top names visiting Washington this summer include John McEnroe and Anna Kournikova.
As the Kastles' featured player, Serena, currently ranked No. 1 in the world, will play one home match and three on the road. She won't be on the roster when Venus visits the Kastles, so the sisters won't face each other in Washington.
The 2009 season runs July 2-26. Dates of the Kastles' home matches will be announced in February.
