This week marks the 50th anniversary of the first World TeamTennis match ever played: Pittsburgh Triangles v. Philadelphia Freedoms.

World TeamTennis was a dream come true for me: women & men were equal.

It was important to me that kids watching us play could see exactly this.

36 years ago today, on April 30, 1988, I first met Venus Williams and Serena Williams at a Domino's Pizza World TeamTennis clinic in Long Beach, CA.

They were as impressive then as they are now.
