LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) — World TeamTennis, the mixed-gender tennis league co-founded nearly a half-century ago by Billie Jean King, will not have a season in 2022 but plans to return next year. WTT announced Wednesday that it is hoping to add new teams by 2023. The expansion fee is $1 million per franchise. The league held single-site seasons during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021, and it intends to return to matches played at teams’ home courts.
