Denver Racquets
September 14, 2013
The Denver Racquets were one of 16 teams that competed during the debut season of World Team Tennis in the summer of 1974. World Team Tennis was a co-ed sports league promoted by women’s superstar Billie Jean King. Each club consisted of three male and three female players. The Racquets played out of Denver Auditorium Arena. After a slow start to the season, the Racquets caught fire late and upset King’s own Philadelphia Freedoms team in the championship finals. The Racquets would not defend their title, however, as the franchise move to Phoenix under new ownership for the 1975 season.
