After three years at Harvard University, the Boston Lobsters of World TeamTennis will move northward for their seven home matches in 2008. Owner Bahar Uttam announced on March 19 that the team will relocate to the Ferncroft Country Club in Middleton. Boston's first home match will be Monday, July 7 against the Delaware Smash. The match begins at 7 p.m.

"We're thrilled to call Ferncroft our new home," Uttam told reporters in a press conference at Ferncroft. "The North Shore is a hotbed of tennis activity, with a knowledgeable and passionate fan base, and still it is close enough to Boston and its suburbs to attract our fans from other regions. Our goal is to bring a championship to all the tennis fans in New England."

Ferncroft, which is owned by Affinity Management, is located just north of Boston, at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Route 1. A new outdoor tennis stadium with seating between 1,500 and 2,000 is being built now and will be ready long before the season opens.

Three of the seven home matches for the Lobsters will feature "marquee" names - Venus Williams, playing for the Philadelphia Freedom on July 10, and Martina Navratilova, who will play for the Lobsters on July 16 and July 19.
