Mylan World TeamTennis sets TV and live streaming schedule

NEW YORK, N.Y. (June 18, 2013) – More than 200 hours of action from Mylan World TeamTennis presented by GEICO, including over 70 hours of live coverage, will air on a combination of national and regional television networks and online this July.

 

The Mylan WTT preview show, matches and highlight recap telecasts are expected to reach close to 200 million households worldwide, including the U.S., India, Africa, Russia, New Zealand, Europe, Southeast Asia and the United Kingdom.

 

Altitude, Comcast Sports Net, Madison Square Garden Network (MSG), Mediacom, Tennis Channel, and Time Warner Cable Sports will air five Mylan WTT matches this summer, starting with Venus Williams leading the defending champion Washington Kastles at home on July 9 against the Boston Lobsters. The Kastles have a 32-match win streak heading into the 2013 season, the second longest in major professional U.S. team sports.

 

Televised matches two and three will feature Springfield Lasers and former US Open champion Andy Roddick visiting the Philadelphia Freedoms on July 10 and then the Washington Kastles on July 11. In May 2013, Roddick and Venus Williams joined the World TeamTennis ownership group.

 

The top-ranked ATP doubles team Bob and Mike Bryan are showcased on July 20 as the newest Mylan WTT team Texas Wild hosts the Orange County Breakers at their new home in Irving, Texas. The Wild played for 20 seasons in Kansas City, Mo., before relocating earlier this year.

 

The Mylan WTT Finals presented by GEICO, which takes place on July 28, rounds out the 5-match series in the home market of the Eastern Conference Champion.

 

Leif Shiras will be the host for all televised Mylan WTT matches, along with former doubles great Rennae Stubbs, who will provide color commentary. Harry Cicma will report from the sideline.

 

Mylan WTT will produce three 30-minute highlight shows this July recapping the best matches and moments of each week of the season. Highlight shows will premiere on July 17 on Tennis Channel and internationally.

 

In a prelude to the July season, the 2013 Mylan WorldTeamTennis preview show presented by Wilson will run this month. This 30-minute telecast will cover the eight team coed professional team tennis league. The show will air throughout June on Tennis Channel and regional sports networks. The preview show includes in-depth analysis of each franchise, complete with interviews, highlights and a look at key matchups heading into the July season; plus a review of the unique format, scoring and rules.

 

In the featured interviews, fans will hear from all the champions including Roddick on playing WTT at 17, Venus Williams on her greatest moment of 2012, Martina Hingis on playing for the Washington Kastles as they try to continue their historic winning streak on par with the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers and co-founder Billie Jean King on how it all began four decades ago. Interviews with Bob and Mike Bryan, John McEnroe, Mardy Fish, Leander Paes and many other stars are also included in the preview show.

In addition to the televised matches, Mylan WTT will live stream 21 matches on WTT.com beginning on opening night, July 7. The first match features the Philadelphia Freedoms on the road against Coco Vandeweghe and the Orange County Breakers, which airs at 5:00 p.m. Pacific.
