World Team Tennis league relaunch

Overview

World Team Tennis (WTT) is relaunching for its 47th season following a multi-year hiatus. The upcoming season, scheduled to run from December 1 to December 15, will feature a condensed format involving three teams: the Florida Flamingos, the New York Empire, and Toronto North.

A notable development in the league’s revival is a new ownership structure where participating players receive equity. Coco Gauff has joined the Florida Flamingos as both a player and a co-owner, with her equity tied specifically to that franchise. The league will maintain its mixed-gender format, consisting of four singles sets and a mixed doubles super tie-breaker.
