If you possess a penchant for reminiscing about the ‘good old days’ of tennis the World Team Challenge (WTC) could be for you.
The WTC, run by Port Adelaide Football Club partner Tennis SA, is less focused on attracting the world’s best current players, but more aligned to re-creating a piece of history with legends like Martina Hingis, Mats Wilander, Henri Leconte and Martina Navratilova set to grace Memorial Drive in 2014.
A conglomerate of legendary players and some current stars, including Jurgen Melzer and Feliciano Lopez, are booked in for January 7-9, and will be joined by the local South Australian who has made a name for himself at just 17 years of age, Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The WTC prides itself on being a family-friendly event and will again aim to run ‘Australia’s largest tennis participation event’ which this year saw over 2000 tennis lovers take to more than 200 tennis courts across South Australia.
