Celebrate a legendary chapter in Nevada tennis history with this vintage-inspired Rollers t-shirt. The iconic logo features a distressed, cracked finish that honors the team's brief but impactful legacy from 2019-2020.
The Vegas Rollers emerged as one of two expansion franchises in World TeamTennis (WTT) in 2019, alongside the Orlando Storm, bringing professional tennis to Las Vegas for the first time. Playing their home matches at the Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada, the team quickly captivated local tennis enthusiasts. Notable players included the legendary Bryan Brothers - the all-time winningest doubles team in history, top American pro Sam Querrey, and local hometown hero Asia Muhammad, creating excitement and establishing a strong connection with the Las Vegas community.
Despite their promising start, the Rollers' journey was cut short by unforeseen circumstances. After finishing their inaugural 2019 season with a 6-8 record, the team faced major disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What would have been their second season in 2020 was relocated entirely to The Greenbrier luxury resort in West Virginia, primarily for television broadcast purposes. By 2021, World TeamTennis announced a shrunken lineup of five teams would compete at Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California, with no mention of the Rollers or other non-participating franchises, effectively marking the end of Vegas' brief professional tennis team experience.
