The Hartford FoxForce were a professional co-ed tennis team in Connecticut that competed in the World TeamTennis (WTT).

History

In 1999, owner Lisa Wilson-Foley and her husband franchised the World TeamTennis team Hartford FoxForce in Hartford, Connecticut.[1] FoxForce's first drafted player was Monica Seles.[2] In 2001 the team fielded brothers Murphy Jensen and Luke Jensen.[3] Over the years the team fielded other well known players such as Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Boris Becker, and James Blake. The team played first at Hartford's 3,000 seat State Arsenal and Armory and later at a 2,500 seat outdoor stadium Wilson-Foley had built at her Blue Fox Run golf course in Avon, Connecticut. The Foley's shut the team down in 2007 due to a lack of corporate sponsorships.[4]
