Each year, twelve teams compete in the World Team Tennis (WTT) Pro League and are comprised of some of the sports top athletes. The season runs for three weeks during summer and attracts over 150,000 fans annually.
If you would like to request a signed photo from any of the players, you may do so by writing in care of their World Team Tennis team. When preparing your request, always handwrite a brief letter and be complimentary to the addressee. A SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) will help to increase your chances of receiving a response and, if requesting a signed photo, a 9×12 envelope would be ideal. The best way to prepare an autograph request is to fold the 9×12 SASE, with postage affixed, three ways and place it inside of a #10 business sized envelope. Be sure to place your letter inside, as well. Address the #10 envelope to the proper athlete in care of his/her World Team Tennis team and take it to the post office for mailing.
Below is a list of the current twelve teams and rosters, which can be used for the purpose of fan mail. While there is no guarantee of receiving a response, following the above guidelines and using the correct mailing address will help to increase your chances of building an autograph collection from some of the top superstars of tennis.
