ESPN3 will broadcast the Mylan WTT Finals at 4:00 p.m. ET on Friday with ESPN2 joining the live coverage at 5:00 p.m. ET.
San Diego and Orange County split their regular season series 2-2 and each team finished with identical 8-4 records. Each team also boasts a 2016 MVP Player—Ryan Harrison of the Aviators and Nicole Gibbs of the Breakers.
San Diego is looking for their first title while the Breakers won their only championship in 2004.
Gibbs leads Orange County’s team that includes

Darija Jurak
,

and coach
John Lloyd
, who is the 2016 Mylan WTT Coach of the Year.
Harrison says team chemistry is what has landed the Aviators a win from the title. “Everybody’s been getting along and we knew we had the opportunity to win with any given line up,” he said. “If one particular set went down, we were always able to pick each other up and we had a lot of confidence in that.” Gibbs believes the Breakers can continue their post-season success. “We are going to have to stay together as a unit and play every point with a positive, determined attitude,” she said. “In Mylan WTT, every point matters.”
