Venus Williams by Max Cook
As if having the world’s #1 women’s tennis player on our team wasn’t enough, the Washington Kastles have added the #5 player as well. That’s right, both Serena and Venus Williams will be playing for the Kastles this season almost assuring another successful run at the World TeamTennis Championship. With arguably the best sibling duo in tennis history, the Kastles roster now boasts a combined 61 Grand Slam titles.
In other exciting news for Kastles fans, coach Murphy Jensen will be back again to see if lighting can strike twice. “It takes world-class talent to win championships and there are no more accomplished athletes than Serena and Venus,” said Murphy, “Last summer was truly a dream season for us, and come July 5, the dream continues in DC.”
The rest of the Kastles roster will be decided during the WTT Roster Draft in March, and with any luck we’ll get the band back together. This is shaping up to be one awesome summer for tennis in DC.
