Hingis to Replace Venus in Kastles Lineup July 8-9
Williams Forced to Withdraw From Season with Back Injury

Reigning Mylan World TeamTennis Female MVP Martina Hingis will represent the
Washington Kastles in their quest for history July 8-9, replacing Venus
Williams, who has withdrawn with a back injury.

With victories at home over the New York Sportimes this Monday, July 8, and
the Boston Lobsters this Tuesday, July 9, the Kastles would extend their
unbeaten run to 34 matches, surpassing the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers with
the longest winning streak in major U.S. pro sports history.
Acquired by the Kastles during the Mylan WTT Draft in March, the 32-year-old
Hingis will also play for Washington July 15-24 after becoming one of the
youngest players ever inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on
July 13.

Williams has not competed since falling in the first round of singles at the
French Open on May 26. She subsequently withdrew from doubles at the French
Open and singles at Wimbledon, before confirming to team officials today that
she is not physically ready to represent the Kastles.

Williams was originally scheduled to play for Washington at home July 8-9,
and on the road against the Texas Wild on July 10. She will be present at
Kastles Stadium at The Wharf on Monday for a pre-match championship ring
ceremony and to cheer on her teammates from the bench.

"I have been working hard to get back into action on the court but my lower
back injury has not recovered to where it needs to be for me to play Mylan
World TeamTennis this summer," said Williams. "I love playing team tennis so
I am really disappointed that I will not be able to compete with my
Washington Kastles teammates this month, or to play in front of the fans in
Washington, D.C., and Irving, Texas. I will be watching the Kastles and
pulling for them to keep the win streak going and bring home another Mylan
WTT championship."

While Williams recovers, Hingis arrives in the nation's capital this Monday
night for the Kastles' season opener against her former team, the Sportimes.

Hingis played for New York in 2011 and 2012, posting a 20-4 two-year record
in women's singles with 12 wins over players currently ranked in the World
Top 200. Among her triumphs was a 5-3 victory over Serena Williams of the
Kastles on July 20, 2011.

After leading the Kastles against the Lobsters on July 9, Hingis will prepare
for her Hall of Fame induction, and then return to the Washington lineup on
July 15 for the remainder of the season. She will play at Kastles Stadium in
six of Washington's seven home matches overall.

"I love the city," said Hingis. "The fans are amazing. Every time you play
there, it's a packed stadium and it's loud. I'm really looking forward to it
because up until now, it's always been against me."

Venus still injured but Serena will play

Venus Williams has still not recovered from her back injury that forced her
to withdraw from Wimbledon. She announced today that she is still not ready
to play and therefore she has to withdraw from Collector Swedish Open that
will start next Monday, July 15th.

- I am making steady progress on my recovery but unfortunately my back is not
at a point yet where I can play competitively. I regret that I will not play
in Båstad this year, as it is a city that I am very interested in seeing. I
hope to return in 2014, says Venus.

- It is unfortunate, but no one is surprised even if we all have hoped to see
her play here. We are at the same time very happy to confirm that Serena will
come to Båstad already next weekend to prepare for the tournament. Serena
will play her first round on Tuesday, July 16th, says Tournament Director
Nina Wennerström.
