– The New York Empire beat the Chicago Smash 21-20 to win the World Team Tennis title on Sunday in a match that ended in a winner-takes-all last point. Tied 6-6 with Chicago’s Sloane Stevens serving for the title, Vandeweghe blasted a forehand return that was challenged but to no avail as the shot narrowly clipped the back of the baseline to give the Empire a 21-20 win, reports Reuters. “To see the best players going after it, toe-to-toe, it’s wonderful,” said Empire coach Luke Jensen. “Last year, we were one swing away, and this time the swing went in. We’re very fortunate to be in this position.”
