Lobsters race to save World Team Tennis franchise
Boston Lobsters face a deadline as four investor groups vie to fund the WTT team. Owner Ray Ciccolo extended by a week after meetings with potential backers to avoid the franchise’s demise. GM John Korff said a structured deal could salvage the club which posted a 300000 loss last year despite a TV contract and average attendance of 2750. If funding arrives, Larry King will review investors before an official resurrection announcement next week.
