The Washington Kastles continued their domination of World Team Tennis by winning a record fifth consecutive championship title.

The Kastles defeated the Austin Aces 24-18 in Washington D.C. on Sunday. This is now the sixth overall championship for the team tying the same mark set by the Sacramento Capitals in 2007. This is the 40th season of Mylan World Team Tennis founded by tennis great Billie Jean King.

“It’s just a beautiful moment to share,” team captain and Finals MVP Leander Paes said after winning his sixth WTT title -- all with the Kastles. “I’ve had a really long career and done some really special things, and this is way up there with the best of them. I’d like to dedicate this MVP award to every single Kastles member, not only on the court but behind the scenes and every single Kastles fan.”

The Kastles core team was made up of Paes, Martina Hingis, Sam Querrey, Anastasia Rodionova, and Madison Brengle.

After taking control early by winning mixed doubles and women's doubles, Querrey extended the lead by winning the men's singles over the Aces Teymuraz Gabashvili. The final women's singles match came down to Brengle facing the Aces' Elina Svitolina.

Despite Svitolina winning the set and forcing extended play, the gap was still too big for the Aces to close. With a final backhand winner, Brengle won the last game and thus clinched the historic victory.

“It’s a dream come true,” Kastles coach Murphy Jensen said. “It’s so different, you’d think this’d get old hat but it doesn’t. It was a bigger challenge because players were coming and going during the season but to get them all to perform the way they did against an extremely tough team says a lot about our organization.”
