The Washington Kastles team tennis squad opens home season play for its second year of existence Tuesday, set to meet a rival team led by a former #1 ranked women's tennis superstar.
Just three days off the Wimbledon women's final, runnerup Venus Williams will play at the reconstructed Kastles Stadium as a member of the visiting Philadelphia Freedoms. Venus Williams is one of a number of marquee name competitors who will make appearances over the course of July in the World TeamTennis league.
Though she won't be at the home opener, 2009 Wimbledon champion Serena Williams will return later this season as the Washington Kastles marquee attraction. Full-time Kastles players will hold the fort until then, striving for their first win of the season after two close road losses on the West Coast.______________________Labels: serena williams, sports, team tennis, venus williams, washington kastles
