Mylan, one of the world’s leading generics and specialty pharmaceutical companies, and World TeamTennis (WTT) announced a three-year agreement whereby Mylan will serve as the title sponsor of WTT, which will be renamed Mylan World TeamTennis.

 

Mylan will serve as the title sponsor of the WTT Pro League’s more than 50 matches per season through 2015 and aims to extend the reach of WTT to new markets outside of the U.S.

 

Mylan WTT includes professional coed tennis teams in eight U.S. markets. Most of the sport’s major champions have played WTT since the League was co-founded by Billie Jean King in 1974. Venus Williams led the Washington Kastles to their second consecutive undefeated season and WTT Championship last month in Charleston, S.C. The 38th season of WTT kicks off next July. WTT always has been known both for access and innovation in the sport, including instant replay technology, on-court coaching, playing let serves and time outs during sets.

 

Under the agreement, Mylan also will be the title sponsor of Mylan WTT Smash Hits through 2015. Smash Hits is the annual charity event co-hosted by Billie Jean King and Sir Elton John to raise funds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) and various local AIDS charities. Mylan, which sponsored the event in 2012, is one of the world’s leading providers of affordable antiretroviral medicines used to treat HIV/AIDS and has a long history of taking an active role in the fight against this disease.
