Member Teams

Six teams participate in league games; unlike previous seasons, the teams did not break up at the conference on a geographical basis, but form a common group, in which each of them holds 6 matches at home and 6 away. Teams represent four US states (two from California ) and the District of Columbia .

Compared to the previous season , the following changes have occurred in the league:

The California Dream team in Sacramento was disbanded due to financial problems and an inability to pay a participation fee for the tournament ^[1]
After several years in which the franchise was located in Texas , the Austin Aces club returned to California , regaining the historical name Orange County Breakers ^[2]
The Boston Lobsters club, which had been playing in the league since 2005, ceased to exist, since there were no people who wanted to acquire a team in Massachusetts . The Lobsters place in the league was taken by the New York Empire Club; Thus, in the state of New York, after a three-year break, the WTT club reappeared ^[3] .

According to the results of the round-robin stage, the two best teams met each other in the final match, which will be held on August 26 in New York at the Forest Hills stadium ^[4] , the place where the US Open tennis used to be .
