DC Tennis by Max Cook
The Washington Kastles, now 5-6, head into the end of their season this week. Currently in second place in the Eastern Conference, they have their work cut out for them to maintain their position. They’ve got three tough matches coming up, two of which are against the undefeated Springfield Lasers. To help their playoff chances the Kastles have signed Nadia Petrova, currently ranked #10 in the world. It remains to be seen who she will replace or if she will have doubles chemistry with either Rennae Stubbs or Olga Puchkova.
Securing wins in two of the final three matches will earn them a spot in the Eastern Conference Final against the 9-3 Sportimes who they played last week. Should they lose two matches they will need the help from the Boston Lobsters and the Philadelphia Freedoms. If the Kastles advance to the finals it will be played here in DC, a rematch you surely won’t want to miss.
While Washington clearly has the best fans in World TeamTennis, seats are still available for this week’s matches so buy your tickets now.
