World TeamTennis Professional League 2008
03 – 23 July, 2008
The World TeamTennis Professional League enters its 33rd season of play in 2008. The 2008 World TeamTennis Professional League season will be played July 3-23. Billie Jean King and Larry King created the unique gender-equity team concept in the early 1970s. The WTT Pro League first hit the courts in 1974 for a five-year run. After a short hiatus, the League returned in 1981 and has been a highlight of the annual U.S. tennis calendar for the past 28 consecutive years.
Location
Sportime Stadium, Mamaroneck, NY
World TeamTennis Format
Each team is comprised of two men, two women and a coach. Team matches consist of five sets, with one set each of men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles.
The first team to reach five games wins each set. One point is awarded for each game won, and a nine-point tiebreaker is played if a set reaches four all. If necessary, Overtime and a “Supertiebreaker” are played to determine the outright winner of the match.
