World TeamTennis announced that Venus Williams and Andy Roddick have become part owners of the business and of the professional team tennis league.

Both longtime WTT players, Williams and Roddick will help lead the organization forward and have an active voice in shaping its direction and expansion roadmap in both U.S. and international markets in the coming years. As global ambassadors for sport, the pair will have an important role in broadening visibility for World TeamTennis internationally, while helping attract new business partners and players to become part of the league. In addition, they will continue to compete in Mylan WTT, with Roddick taking the court for the Springfield Lasers and Williams returning to the Washington Kastles.

The 2013 season of Mylan World TeamTennis presented by GEICO runs July 7-28 in eight U.S. markets.
