Tampa Bay Action
June 27, 2019
The Tampa Bay Action were a failed entry in Billie Jean King’s World Team Tennis promotion that lasted only one season during the summer of 1992. In fact, the entirety of the Action’s existence was seven home matches held at the 3,000-seat Tampa Bay Convention Center over the course of two-and-a-half weeks in July 1992. The highlights of the Action’s brief run were the appearances by aging superstars such as Martina Navratilova and Jimmy Connors who came to town on the rosters of opposing WTT clubs. The Action’s top player was Mikael Pernfors of Sweden, a 1986 French Open singles finalist.
