World Tennis League 2025: Players and Teams
16 players are divided into four teams, each consisting of four players. Daniil Medvedev, Rohan Bopanna, Magda Linette, and Sahaja Yamalapalli are part of Team Game Changers Falcons. Medvedev previously won the title with the Eagles in 2023.
Gael Monfils, Paula Badosa, Sumit Nagal, and Shrivalli Bhamidipaty make up Team AOS Eagles. Team VB Realty Hawks consists of Denis Shapovalov, Elina Svitolina, Yuki Bhambri, and Maaya Revathi. Shapovalov was a part of Falcons last year, and won the title with them.
Lastly, Nick Kyrgios, Marta Kostyuk, Ankita Raina, and Dhakshineshwar Suresh are part of Team Aussie Mavericks Kites. This will be Kyrgios' third exhibition of the month, following the Atlanta Cup and the Garden Cup.
World Tennis League 2025: Format
Teams will play each other in a round-robin format, with the top two teams advancing to the championship round. Each tie will consist of four sets, one each of men's and women's singles, the other two consisting of either men's or women's doubles, or mixed doubles. The doubles sets will be at the discretion of the team that wins the coin toss.
Every game in a tie is worth one point. The team with the most points at the end wins the tie, so every game counts. The match goes into overtime if a team that was trailing comes back to win the fourth set. If the leading team wins one game in overtime, the tie ends in their favor.
If the overall score remains tied even after overtime, a super tie-break will come into the picture. The first team to 10 points will then claim the tie, and the team will also score two bonus points. Matches will follow the traditional scoring system during a set, with a golden point at deuce and a tie-break at 6-6.
World Tennis League 2025: Schedule
The tournament will run from December 17-20. The first three days will feature two ties each, and the final will take place on December 20. Here's the full schedule for the event:
