The pro-am tennis event is set for March 1st, 2020 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa—home of WTT’s San Diego Aviators—in Carlsbad, Califorina.
Tickets are on sale now at WTT.com.
“Playing in San Diego for the Aviators is something that I make sure is on my calendar every summer, and when I was asked to participate in the 2020 WTT Celebrity All-Star Match in San Diego, it was a no brainer for me,” Vandeweghe said. “The March 1st match should be awesome for the players and the fans.
"Team tennis is always the most fun and exciting. I love the format and the excitement that every point counts is something that we don’t get on the tour, so I love every opportunity to play WTT. It’s always a major plus to be able to sleep in my own bed as well in San Diego.”
CBS Sports, the official television partner of World TeamTennis, will air a one-hour WTT Celebrity All-Star Match special on April 4th at 1:30 p.m. Eastern to highlight the best moments from the event.
“Our WTT Celebrity All-Star Match, featuring many of the best Americans in tennis and popular WTT stars, will extend our positive momentum from the 2019 season into what will be an even bigger year for WTT in 2020,” WTT CEO Carlos Silva said. “The commitments we’ve received from many of WTT’s stars to participate in the WTT Celebrity All-Star Match make it evident that our players love our team tennis format.”
The WTT Celebrity All-Star Match will follow WTT’s match format: one set (first to five games) each of men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles.
