WASHINGTON, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Players, including such big names as Pete Sampras, Martina Navratilova and Anna Kournikova, will play on throwback colored courts during World Team Tennis events this summer.
The 12-city venues will sport multicolored Deco Turf courts, the official surface for the July 6-26 matches, according to the reports from New York.
Sampras is making his WTT debut with the Newport Beach Breakers. Navratilova will play for the Boston Lobsters and Kournikova will compete with the Washington Capitals.
The multicolored WTT court design was popular in the 1970s, when the league was co-founded by Billie Jean King and Larry King. The patchwork of colors include blue, green, brown and maroon, reports said.
The WTT begins its 31st season, and the top two teams from the Eastern and Western conference advance to the semifinals. The title will be decided on July 30. Enditem
