2010 Washington Kastles by Max Cook

It was looking like the Washington Kastles were headed to the World TeamTennis playoffs again to defend last year’s championship title, however with a 24-15 loss in Boston last night, their season has come to an end.  Had they beaten the Lobsters, they would be battling the New York Sportimes in the conference championship, a rematch of last year’s playoffs.  Those fans who purchased tickets for the potential championship match tonight are entitled to a refund.

Congratulations to the Kastles for another hard-fought, fun month of tennis.  Fans were treated to the amazing talents of Venus Williams, Leander Paes, Rennae Stubbs, Bobby Reynolds, Angela Haynes, and Victoria Azarenka, not to mention opponents including John McEnroe, Martina Hingis, and Anna Kournikova.  Best of luck to those who are headed to the US Open later this summer.
