When World Team Tennis began in 1974, gender equality was the biggest priority. Billie Jean King envisioned women and men playing together on the same court at the same level for the same prize money. Four decades later and WTT is still going strong.
The upcoming three-week season in West Virginia will be the biggest tournament since the shutdown in March. It's the first co-ed competitive tennis fans will see since the WTT All-Star Celebrity match on March 1.
The nine teams are stacked full of WTA and ATP talent including stars like Venus Williams, Milos Raonic, Sofia Kenin and the Bryan brothers.
