The Washington Post: World Team Tennis Finals To Be Held In Washington
Thursday, May 7, 2009
In just its second season fielding a World TeamTennis franchise, Washington will host the professional tennis league's championship finals this summer.
The Washington Kastles once again will play their seven home matches on the site of the city's former convention center, 11th and H streets NW, at a 3,000-seat stadium that's roughly 30 percent bigger than the one constructed for the team's inaugural season.
In addition, Washington will host the 2009 Advanta WTT Championships finals on July 26.
The Kastles' seven-game home stand opens July 7 with a visit from former world No. 1 Venus Williams, who competes for the Philadelphia Freedom. That's just three days after Wimbledon women's final is schedule to be played. Venus is a five-time and defending champion of the grass-court classic.
For a second consecutive year, Serena Williams headlines the Kastles' roster, but she won't be in the lineup for a head-to-head meeting with her elder sister. Serena's lone home match for the Kastles will be July 14.
Other top names visiting Washington to take on this Kastles this summer include John McEnroe and Anna Kournikova.
Tickets go on sale Monday at 10 a.m., available through the team's Web site, www.washingtonkastles.com and Ticketmaster. Group and box seats can be bought by phone, 202-483-6647.
The Kastles home schedule is below:
July 7 -- Philadelphia Freedom (Venus Williams)
July 8 -- St. Louis Aces (Anna Kournikova)
