NEW YORK (AP) - Anna Kournikova will open the season, Pete Sampras plans to play four matches and John McEnroe will try to keep up "with the big boys" of World Team Tennis.
Co-founded by Billie Jean King, the coed league kicks off its 32nd season Thursday. The monthlong series will feature appearances by Venus and Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and the top-ranked doubles duo of Bob and Mike Bryan.
King and WTT commissioner Ilana Kloss have been innovators in the sport — debuting instant replay, on-court coaching and no-ad scoring — and will launch a "Go Green" effort in two of the league's 11 cities.
