2 ▪ wtT.COM ilana kloss CEO/Commissioner, Mylan World TeamTennis Born: March 22, 1956 Birthplace: Johannesburg, South Africa Residence: New York, N.Y.

Mylan World TeamTennis CEO/Commissioner Ilana Kloss knows firsthand how the sport of tennis can connect and inspire. At age 11, she was a ball kid for the South African Open, a men’s and women’s pro tournament in Kloss’ native South Africa. One of the top players hit a few balls with her and told Kloss’ father Shlaim that his daughter had real potential. That was all an aspiring young tennis player needed to hear. “When I heard that I really began to dream about the possibilities and work towards being the best player I could be,” said Kloss. Four decades later, Kloss is still inspired by tennis, now as the CEO/Commissioner of Mylan World TeamTennis which was co-founded by Billie Jean King and then- husband in the 1970s. While King’s current role is primarily as a spokesperson, advisor and global ambassador, it’s Kloss who heads up the day-to-day efforts to secure sponsorships and grow the team tennis concept both in the U.S. and internationally. In early 2009, Kloss brought the Tennis Association (USTA) on board as a minority owner of World TeamTennis. The USTA works with WTT on a number of growth initiatives, including youth participation in team tennis. Kloss, who was recognized as Sports Business Woman of the Year by the Sports Marketing Center in 2007, was recently elected to the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and was inducted during the in July 2013. In September 2010, Kloss was honored by the U.S. International Club (USIC) with the Sarah Palfrey Danzig Award for her contributions as a player and administrator. She was also recognized as a Gamechanger in October 2011 by Sports Business Journal as one of the top women in sports business. Kloss’ passion for WTT’s unique format and community appeal is evident when she speaks about how Mylan WTT stands out in the sports landscape. “WTT is about both men and women competing together on a level playing field. Our vision is to grow tennis and make it a true team sport. With Mylan WTT, we are able to bring the best professional players to local communities where kids can see them working together as a team. That’s an important inspirational message.” “Mylan WTT is also about giving communities a sense of ownership in tennis and a connection to our players,” adds Kloss. “We provide a level of access and involvement fans generally can’t get with other sports.” Kloss was just a kid herself when she became the youngest No. 1 in South African tennis history at age 17. By the time she turned 20, she was the top-ranked doubles player in the world, winning doubles titles at the U.S. Open, , U.S. Clay Courts, German Open, British Hard Courts and Hilton in 1976. Kloss also added the 1976 Mixed Doubles Championship with . Kloss played World TeamTennis for several years (San Francisco, Oakland, Long Beach, Beach) before becoming a team coach. She guided the Fyre to the 1983 WTT title before joining the League full- time as Player Liaison in 1985. The transition from the courts to the office was a smooth one for Kloss. “I did it gradually, going from being a player to coaching a WTT team then working to recruit players for the League and eventually running the operation.” Kloss took over as the WTT Vice President in 1987 and eventually succeeded Billie Jean King as WTT Executive Director in 1991. Kloss was named CEO/Commissioner in February 2001. Kloss oversees Mylan World TeamTennis and the nationwide grassroots Mylan WTT Rec League programs from her office. Kloss’ primary focus is on national sponsorships, strategic planning, media partnerships and expansion of Mylan WTT. ilana kloss photo by Jonathan Exley

Important Things To Know Each year after Wimbledon, Mylan WTT takes center stage in professional tennis. Some of the world’s best men and women team up to play singles, doubles and mixed doubles in an exciting and unique professional team tennis competition. The players thrive on the match intensity, camaraderie of team play and the hometown support from their fans. Here are key terms to know about the Mylan WTT experience.

THE TEAMS Draft Team rosters are determined through two drafts held prior to the season - the Mylan WTT Marquee Draft in February and the Mylan WTT Roster Draft in March. The Marquee Draft includes some of the biggest names in tennis who typically play a limited schedule. There are four or five rounds to the Mylan WTT Roster Draft. Teams draft in reverse order of the previous year’s final team standings (including playoffs), based on overall match won/loss record. Returning franchises have the right to protect players from the previous year’s roster. Franchises Seven teams will compete for three weeks during the 2014 season. The franchises are divided into two conferences: Eastern Conference Boston Lobsters • Philadelphia Freedoms • Washington Kastles Western Conference Austin Aces • San Diego Aviators • Springfield Lasers • Texas Wild

THE SCHEDULE Regular season Each of the teams will play 14 regular season matches - seven home, seven away. The teams will compete in two conferences during the regular season, which begins on Sunday, July 6 and concludes on Wednesday, July 23. Post-season The top two teams from both the Western and Eastern Conference advance to the 2014 Mylan WTT Conference Championships which will be hosted on Thursday, July 24, by the top-seeded team in each Conference. The 2014 Mylan WTT Finals will be contested Sunday, July 27, on the home court of the Western Conference Champions.

ON THE COURT Fan Experience Fan participation is an important part of any of Mylan WTT match. Crowds are encouraged to be vocal about great play (while still being respectful of all players) and are allowed to enter/exit the stadium during play without having to wait for a changeover. Often between games, music is played or a DJ fires up the crowd. Match A match is a contest between two Mylan WTT teams, consisting of five sets plus Overtime (if any) and a Supertiebreaker (if necessary). The sets are men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles. Match Order The home team coach determines the order of sets and turns in the lineup to the head umpire one hour before match start time. Every match includes a halftime break – either after the second or third set.

16 ▪ wtT.COM glossary

Officials Seven roving linespersons and a head umpire comprise the officials at a Mylan WTT match. The head umpire, who calls the match from an umpire’s box, is in charge. His/her decisions are final. Substitution A coach may substitute one player, per set, per gender at the conclusion of a point. If a player is substituted, he/she may not return to the match during that set. Team Each team has a coach and four players; two men and two women (five or more players if there are Marquee or Wild Card players on the team). Players are permitted to play in a maximum of three sets per match. Timeouts As with other professional league team sports, Mylan WTT features the use of GEICO Timeouts during match play. Each team will be allotted two timeouts per set with an additional timeout being awarded to each team if a match goes into Overtime. GEICO Timeouts will be twenty (:20) seconds in length and do not carry over between sets. Only the coach may call a timeout. Coaches or players may enter the court area during these breaks in action.

SCORING Keeping Score • Scoring is no-ad (the first team to win four points wins the game). Game scoring is 1, 2, 3, game. • All games, sets and Supertiebreakers are won by a margin of one point. • Each game counts as one point in the team’s cumulative match score. • The receiver has the choice from which side he/she will receive should the game reach three points each. In mixed doubles, the serve is always gender-to-gender at 3-3. • Teams change sides after every four games. • Let serves are played. Overtime In Mylan WTT matches - every point matters, every game counts. That is never more evident than in Overtime. If the team ahead in the cumulative score wins the final game of the last set, then that team is the winner. If, however, the trailing team wins the final set, the match is sent into Overtime and continues until a) the leading team wins one game, or b) the trailing team ties the match score. If the score becomes tied, the match is decided by a Supertiebreaker. Set The first team to reach five games wins a set. If the set is tied at 4-4, a 9-point tiebreaker is played. Supertiebreaker If the match is tied at the conclusion of five sets OR if the trailing team ties the score in Overtime, a 13-point Supertiebreaker, involving the same fifth set, decides the outcome of the entire match. A coin toss determines the choice of side, server and receiver. Players change sides after six points. The first team to win seven points is awarded a single game and the match. Tiebreaker If a set reaches 4-4, a 9-point tiebreaker is played to decide the winner of the set. The first team to reach five points wins the tiebreaker. Players change sides after four points. The tiebreaker counts as one game and decides the outcome of the set.
