The Kastles won the WTT crown in just their second year of existence.

It’s sadly not often that a Washington team wins a championship, so you might as well get down. A large collection of tennis aficionados did just that on Sunday night, after witnessing the Kastles overcome a late charge by the Springfield Lasers to win the WTT title and the King Trophy, 23-20. Since the WTT experience at its core is a jovial one, attendees were already in a good mood despite the sweltering heat and humidity. The victory for the home team had fans chanting in unison and leaping up and down.

Perhaps halftime entertainer DJ Kool said it best, after I ran into him and asked his opinion on the evening: “Woooooo!”

Woo, indeed.

(An aside: yes, that DJ Kool, who, even at 50, made sure to note that he was “representing Southeast!” as he surreally performed his mid-90s hit “Let Me Clear My Throat” at a tennis match.)

If Kool hadn’t been enough to get the sizable crowd on its feet, the championship-clinching women’s singles match did the trick.
