The World TeamTennis tournament is a pro-active, fun, mixed-gender tournament. The players are divided into teams, and each team comprises two men, two women, and a coach. The tie is spread across 5 sets, with one set of each tennis category. The team that reaches 5 games takes the set, and the team that wins 3 out of the 5 sets takes home the tie.
