Washington Kastles News Release


WASHINGTON - The Washington Kastles will kick off their quest for a World TeamTennis record seventh King Trophy on Monday, July 15, 2019 at their brand-new stadium on the rooftop of Union Market. The Kastles' season begins with three home matches in three nights, with College Park, Md. native and rising superstar Frances Tiafoe returning to lead the roster for his third consecutive season with the team.

Media can enter through the main entrance stairwell and/or elevator on the 6th Street NE side of the building, at the northeast corner of Union Market. Press conferences will be held at 5:45 p.m. in the VIP area on Dock 5. Monday's opening match will feature a press conference with Frances Tiafoe.

Free parking is available in the underground garage of The Batley, located at 1270 4th St NE. Please park only on the first level and exit the garage via the same ramp by which you entered. Do not exit through the building. Before 10 p.m., you may use the same ramp to access your car. If accessing after 10 p.m., please go to the lobby of The Batley so the concierge can allow you access to the garage.

Due to space constraints, seating for media and photographers will be limited this season; it would be appreciated if you would informally RSVP to Jack Deschauer at jack@markstein.co if you plan to attend and/or report on matches. Thank you for your time, attention and patience as we move into our new home.
