The '''World Tennis Challenge''' is a three night exhibition tournament held in the week before the [[Australian Open]] in Adelaide, South Australia. The tournament was created by a consortium of past players including [[Jim Courier]], [[Darren Cahill]], [[Mark Woodforde]] and [[Roger Rasheed]]. It has four teams of two players, a 'legend' and a current player and are paired into areas e.g. Americas or represent their countries. The current players play each other in a best of 3 match with a match tiebreaker for a 3rd set. The legends play a pro set, and the doubles if needed is a normal set with no a rules before a super tie break if needed.<ref>[http://www.worldtennischallenge.com/wtc_format.html WTC World Tennis Challenge<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.
