Episode Details

Tennis in 3 hours with eight top players, real team energy, and fans allowed on the court after the match? We sit down with Bill Oakes, former ATP Tournament Director who is the Current Chief Operating Officer for the reimagined World Team Tennis, to unpack a version of pro tennis built for modern fans.

Bill walks us through the World Team Tennis format and why it’s designed for speed and variety, with multiple singles sets plus mixed doubles, no-ad scoring, and rules that keep the action moving. If you love the strategy side of the sport, you’ll want to hear how Hawkeye AR augmented reality and Hawkeye data can reveal ball speed, bounce location, and movement in ways that help rec players understand real point construction.

Please let us know if you attend a pro World Team Tennis match and what you think!
