Hey Tennis Friends!
It’s time for World Team Tennis!
I visited my local team, the Newport Beach Breakers, to catch this year’s action. It was a home game, held at The Tennis Club Newport Beach, as they took on the St Louis Aces.
The are five “events”, as they call them, featuring mixed doubles, women’s doubles, men’s doubles, women’s singles, and men’s singles. That’s a lot of action to pack into just a couple of hours!
I’ve put together some highlights of the evening, along with an interview with Billie Jean King!
There are so many details and other exciting things to share, so, it looks like I’ll have to go back for this Saturday’s match! Be sure to join me, as the Breakers feature Pete Sampras versus Martina Hingis and the New York Sportimes!
Upcoming matches, in the next couple of weeks only, feature Taylor Dent, the Bryan brothers, and some of the best current and former tour players!
Go to the official Newport Beach Breakers website for the rest of the home schedule and to get your tickets here: newportbeachbreakers.com
Be sure to tell ’em that you saw them on GroundsPass.net!
Or, look for YOUR local team
on the official World Team Tennis website here: wtt.com
Be sure to share GroundsPass.net with your other Tennis Friends, and I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

While speaking to the crowd BJK made a great point about not dwelling on losses on court. I liked her perspective on life–working together in families, community, etc. Also, hers was your best interview yet, especially your point about her being personally involved not just funding or promoting tennis events.
