The Portland (Oregon) Panthers played two quiet seasons in Domino’s Pizza TeamTennis (better known as World Team Tennis) in the summers of 1988 and 1989.
The Team Tennis format, at the time, featured four-person rosters with two male and two female players. The Panthers’ best known player was Dianne Balestrat, better known during her 1970’s heyday as Dianne Fromholtz. The Aussie ranked in the world top ten for women’s singles from 1976 to 1979.
