Baltimore Banners
The Baltimore Banners were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT) founded in 1974.[1] Despite the presence of Connors, the Banners had 16 wins and 28 losses, and finished in third place in the Atlantic Section missing the playoffs.However, after a quarter of the season had passed, the Banners lost 23 of their final 33 matches to finish with 16 wins and 28 losses, third place in the Atlantic Section.[1][2][3] Banners superstar Jimmy Connors had the highest game-winning percentage in men's singles for the 1974 WTT season.[7][8] His exclusion from the French Open denied him the opportunity to become the first male player since Rod Laver to win all four Major singles titles in a calendar year.
