Dear Kastles Fans,
On behalf of our players and staff, I am
extremely proud to welcome you to the
seventh season of Washington Kastles
tennis. The team has quickly established
itself after winning three straight WTT
titles and four in the last five years.
Most importantly to us, Kastles Stadium
has been a place where people from
throughout our region have come
together with friends and family to
create memories that will last a lifetime.
Our four championships, two perfect
seasons, 34-match win streak and all
of our community programs would
not have been possible without you,
the most passionate tennis fans
in the country. Our players always
credit Kastles fans for inspiring the
championships theyve won and
records theyve broken. The sky is the
limit again in 2014.
We are very pleased that the same core
members from our 2013 championship
team are returning this season: two-
time reigning WTT Female MVP Martina
Hingis, defending US Open doubles
champion Leander Paes, Kastles closer
Bobby Reynolds and Top 25 doubles
player Anastasia Rodionova.
In addition, three of the best players
in tennis will represent Washington
at Kastles Stadium in 2014: 5-time
Wimbledon champion Venus Williams
(July 16), 6-foot-8 and World No. 17
Kevin Anderson (July 9-10), and rising
star and World No. 22 Sloane Stephens
(July 22).
We are also excited to welcome
everyone to our new home: Kastles
Stadium at the Smith Center! With
padded seats, HD replays and animated
scoreboards, I know that you will love
not only the comfort and amenities, but
also the incredible intensity, energy and
excitement inside our new arena.
As in previous seasons, Kastles matches
offer world-class tennis AND world-class
entertainment courtesy of Leighton the
Stilt Walker, our mascots Topspin and
Slice, and the only cheerleaders in pro
tennis.
In addition, children 16-and-under are
invited onto the court for autographs
from all home and visiting players after
tonights match. And dont let them go
home without a souvenir! Our popular
racquet giveaway program is back for a
seventh straight season, providing kids
12-and-under with a free junior racquet
to engage them to play this great sport.
The Kastles are 24-1 in our last 25 home
matches entering this season, and its
all thanks to the greatest home-court
advantage in pro sports. We cant wait
to create an atmosphere unlike any
other at Kastles Stadium at the Smith
Center, with rabid fans like you showing
our opponents that the Kastles still and
always will Refuse to Lose!
Mark D. Ein

HISTORY OF
MYLAN WTT
HISTORY OF THE
SMITH CENTER
The Washington Kastles are bringing
pro tennis to the Smith Center for
the first time in nearly 25 years.
D.C. native Harold Solomon
earned $19,000 for singles and
$2,000 for doubles after sweeping
the titles at the 1976 Volvo
Classic, the first of five mens
tournaments at the Smith Center.
In February, Kastles players
Venus Williams ($471,841) and
Anastasia Rodionova ($35,910)
took home a penny or two more
for winning the Dubai singles and
doubles titles respectively.
The more things change, however,
the more they stay the same.
The Smith Center hosted the Virginia
Slims of Washington womens
event nine times (1977-1979, 1982-
1986, 1990). In those tournaments,
Martina Navratilova went 38-1
with seven titles in singles and
24-1 with six titles in doubles.
From one D.C. dynasty to
another, the Kastles come to
the Smith Center with three
straight WTT championships
and a 46-2 record since 2011.
Many of the greatest tennis
players ever have competed at
the Smith Center, including Bjorn
Borg, John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl,
Chris Evert and Tracy Austin.
Youre likely to spot several former
pros in the Kastles crowd this
summer. WTT co-founder Billie
Jean King, WTT Commissioner Ilana
Kloss, WTEF Executive Director Eleni
Rossides and DPR Tennis Director
Jeri Ingram have all played at the
Smith Center. And Kastles owner
Mark Ein was even a ballkid here!
From legends to locals, Hall-of-
Famers to hometown heroes,
one woman is clearly the First
Lady of Smith Center tennis.
Navratilova won 76 of 80 singles
sets in her eight appearances at
the Smith Center, dominating two
generations in Kastles-like fashion.
With the Kastles moving into the
house Martina built, connections
between the franchise and
Navratilova have quickly surfaced.
Martina Hingis, named after
Navratilova in 1980, returns for her
second season with Washington.
Kastles captain Leander Paes
teamed with Navratilova to win the
Australian Open and Wimbledon
mixed doubles titles in 2003. At
a 2009 WTT match between the
Boston Lobsters and New York
Buzz, a 52-year-old Navratilova
lost womens and mixed doubles
to a 16-year-old Sloane Stephens.
Now a Kastle, Stephens leads
Washington against the Springfield
Lasers in her new teams home
finale. If history is any indication,
she and the Kastles will pick up
where the ageless Navratilova left
off at the Smith Center 24 years
ago and walk away a winner.
History of Professional
Tennis at the Smith Center
2014 Kastles Join Legends
Whove Played at GW
Mylan World TeamTennis (WTT) has
come a long way -- from a concept
concocted by Billie Jean and Larry King
in 1962 to a league featuring the hottest
pro sports franchise 52 years later.
It wasnt until 1974 that Billie Jean
King brought her and Larrys idea
to life, introducing the world to
TeamTennis Pro League. Through
the decades, Grand Slam champions
and No. 1 players have turned to
WTT as an exclusive opportunity
to abandon the lonely grind of the
tennis tour and play on a team.
Between the lines, the best tennis
players in the world have taken to
WTTs multi-colored courts. Rod
Laver (1976), Bjorn Borg (1977) and
Victoria Azarenka (2006) are among
WTT Rookie of the Year winners,
while Chris Evert (1976), Martina
Navratilova (1978) and Jimmy Connors
(1993) are Hall-of-Famers with WTT
MVP on their respective resumes.
Following a league hiatus in 1979 and
1980, several WTT teams teetered on
the brink of a perfect season. In 1986,
the San Antonio Racquets went 15-1
en route to the WTT championship.
And in 1994, the Newport Beach Dukes
completed the regular season 14-0,
only to fall in the playoff semifinals.
Enter the Washington Kastles: WTTs
very first franchise in the nations
capital. Following a 6-8 inaugural
season in 2008, the Kastles captured
the King Trophy in 2009, 2011, 2012
and 2013. Washington has posted
an unprecedented record of 46-2
over the last three years, including a
record-setting 34-match win streak.
What the Racquets and the Dukes
came oh-so-close to accomplishing,
the Kastles have done twice. In
both 2011 and 2012, Washington
completed the first two perfect
seasons in WTT history.
As the Kastles make international
headlines, WTT is making major
strides as well. Mylan signed on as the
title sponsor in 2012, Venus Williams
and Andy Roddick became part-
owners in 2013, and ESPN begins
four years of nightly WTT coverage
this season. League commissioner
Ilana Kloss is hopeful that WTT
will expand to 16 teams by 2018.
One thing in Mylan World TeamTennis
is for sure: The Washington Kastles are
here to stay. Having secured their spot
in the WTT record books, the Kastles
are eager to add to their ever-growing
legacy in the exciting years to come.
With two perfect seasons, three straight championships and a
record-setting 34-match win streak, the Washington Kastles are
quickly rewriting the history of Mylan World TeamTennis (WTT)
6 WASHINGTON KASTLES 2014 SEASON 7 WASHINGTON KASTLES 2014 SEASON
2008
On July 8, 2008, the incomparable Serena
Williams represented the Kastles in their very
first match at CityCenterDC, and the Kastles
have taken the Washington sports scene by
storm ever since.
KASTLES HISTORY
& MILESTONES
WASHINGTONKASTLES.COM
@WASHKASTLES FACEBOOK.COM/WASHKASTLES
2009
Grand Slam doubles champions Leander
Paes and Rennae Stubbs joined the
team in 2009. Rallying from a 5-7 start
to the season, Paes, Stubbs and the
Kastles won their final four matches,
culminating in a wild WTT Finals against
the Springfield Lasers.
With a jam-packed Kastles Stadium crowd supporting them, unheralded Olga
Puchkova and Scott Oudsema led Washington to its first league title. Oudsema
won singles and doubles to earn WTT Finals MVP honors, while Puchkova saved
three championship points in the final set to clinch the King Trophy for the Kastles.
2010
Even with future World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka on the squad for its final four
matches, Washington narrowly missed the postseason when it lost the last match
of the 2010 regular season in Boston. However, the franchise set itself up for
long-term success by acquiring Bobby Reynolds and Venus Williams. Reynolds
evolved from WTT Male Rookie of the Year in 2010 to WTT Male MVP in 2012 and
WTT Finals MVP in 2013. Meanwhile, Williams has led the Kastles to a 10-0 record
when shes been in the teams lineup.
2011
In 2011, Reynolds, Paes, Stubbs and the Williams sisters
ushered in the picturesque Kastles Stadium at The Wharf. The
Southwest Waterfront venue was home to a lot of history,
beginning with the 2011 Kastles team that went 16-0 to clinch
the first perfect season in 37 years of World TeamTennis.
Paes picked up his second WTT Male MVP award for his
regular season efforts, but again, it was an unlikely player
who rose to the occasion in the WTT Finals. World No. 184
Arina Rodionova defeated World No. 42 Tamira Paszek
to propel the Kastles to Title No. 2.
2012
As improbable as anything in
professional sports, history
repeated itself in 2012 when
the Kastles completed
asecond-straight undefeated
season, lifted the King Trophy
for a third time and extended
their winning streak to 32
matches.
During the regular season,
Venus Williams overcame a
six-game deficit and fought
off four match points against
the New York Sportimes. During the postseason, she was at again, breaking ties
in the Eastern Conference Championship and WTT Finals by winning the final set
in both matches. Venus swept the last five points of a winner-take-all tiebreaker in
the WTT Finals, leading the Kastles over the Sacramento Capitals 20-19.
2013
With victories in their first two matches of
the 2013 season, the Kastles rounded out a
34-match win streak, surpassing the 1971-72 Los
Angeles Lakers and setting a new major U.S.
pro sports record. After two losses, Washington
won its final 12 matches of 2013 -- a streak that
the team carries into the 2014 season.
Martina Hingis jumped from the Sportimes to
the Kastles, becoming the sixth Washington
player to have been ranked World No. 1. Hingis
repeated as WTT Female MVP and the Kastles
three-peated in the WTT Finals, capturing the
King Trophy for the third straight season with
a 25-12 rout of Andy Roddick and the Lasers in
front of a sold-out crowd at Kastles Stadium.

WTT FORMAT
& SCORING
GAME: Each game uses no-ad scoring. The first team to win four points wins
the game.
3-ALL POINTS: If a game reaches 3-all, a deciding point is played in which the
receiving team chooses the side of the court that the server will hit the serve.
On 3-all points in mixed doubles, the return is taken by the player of the same
gender as the server. Over the course of a match, these critical deciding points
often prove to be the difference between winning and losing.
LETS: One exciting feature of WTT matches is that service lets are in play! If
a serve hits the net and falls into the correct service box, play continues. In a
doubles match, the non-returning player is permitted to cross over and return a
let serve, creating an exciting situation unique to WTT.
SETS: The first singles player or doubles team to win five games clinches a set.
If the set is tied at 4-4, a tiebreaker up to five points is played. If the tiebreaker is
even at 4-4, the winner of the next point wins the set.
REGULATION: If the team that wins the final set is leading in cumulative games,
that team is the winner of the match. If, however, the trailing team wins the final
set, the match goes into overtime.
OVERTIME: If the trailing team wins the last set, the players on the court for the
last set play overtime, which ends when either:
(a) The leading team wins one game, or
(b) The trailing team ties the cumulative game score, forcing a supertiebreaker.
SUPERTIEBREAKER: The same players on the court during overtime play a
supertiebreaker, with the first
to seven points winning the match.
If the supertiebreaker is even at 6-6, the winner of the next point wins
the match.
CHANGEOVERS: Players change sides after the first four games in a set or
overtime, after the first four points in a tiebreaker, before overtime, and after the
first six points in a supertiebreaker.
TIMEOUTS: WTT is instituting the use of timeouts during match play. Each team
will be allotted 2 timeouts per set, with an additional timeout being awarded to
each team if a match goes into overtime. Timeouts will be twenty seconds (:20)
in length and do not carry over between sets. Only the coach may call a timeout.
Coaches or players may enter the court area during these breaks in action.
COACHING AND SUBSTITUTIONS: Coaches are encouraged to participate
in the match. They can talk with players on the court during timeouts and
can substitute players at any point in the middle of a set. A player who
has been replaced during a substitution cannot return during the same
set. Substitutions are often made by coaches with the hope of changing
momentum in a set.
Mylan World TeamTennis puts a spin on traditional tennis scoring in
a format that creates intense pressure on every point and thrilling
endings. Five sets up to five games are played at every WTT match,
including one set each of: Mens Singles, Womens Singles, Mens
Doubles, Womens Doubles, Mixed Doubles. A minimum of two men
and two women compete for each team each match. The team that
wins the most cumulative games over the course of five sets is the
winner of the match.

KASTLES FOUNDING PRINCIPLES
Established in February 2008, the Washington Kastles were founded with the goal of
building a platform that would unite and give back to the D.C. community. Specifically,
the four founding principles were and remain today:
Bring the Greater Washington community together
Help local charitable partners
Create a center of high-quality, fun activities
Expose tennis to a wider audience
The Kastles arent just champions on the court. Off of it, our team will surpass
$1 million in charitable donations this season, providing cash, grants, tickets and
tennis equipment to more than 200 charities since 2008.
Close to 6,000 tennis racquets and 9,000 tickets have been given to children
throughout the region. Each night, over 200 tickets are donated to local youth
and military charities so that they can enjoy world-class tennis courtesy of the
Kastles. In addition, Bloomberg Kids Clinics held at Kastles Stadium during the
WTT season have afforded thousands of children the opportunity to hit with
tennis superstars such as Serena and Venus Williams. Our coach and players are
dedicated to going into neighborhoods around the region to expose tennis to
youth in our community.
FREE RACQUETS FOR KIDS
The Mark David Ein Foundation is once again sponsoring a racquet giveaway
program at all Kastles home matches to encourage the growth of our great sport.
In 2014, nearly 1,000 kids 12-and-under will receive a free junior racquet.
POST-MATCH AUTOGRAPHS
All children 16-and-under are invited to come onto the court and get autographs
from each of the home and visiting players after all Kastles home matches. This is an
amazing opportunity for kids to meet some of the best tennis players in the world.
