WTT announces Celebrity All-Star Match for March

World TeamTennis is serving up a new twist for its 45th season with an All-Star event featuring many of the best American tennis players.

Top talent from its 2019 season and soon-to-be-announced celebrities from the tennis and entertainment industries will play the “WTT Celebrity All-Star Match”—a pro-am tennis event on March 1 in Carlsbad, Calif. played in WTT's match format.

Maria Sharapova, Bob and Mike Bryan, Sam Querrey, Taylor Fritz, CoCo Vandeweghe, Madison Keys, Ryan Harrison and Taylor Townsend are set to play.

“Playing in San Diego for the Aviators is something that I make sure is on my calendar every summer,” Vandeweghe said. “The March 1 match should be awesome for the players and the fans. It’s always a major plus to be able to sleep in my own bed as well in San Diego.”
