Playing at Harvard University’s magnificent Berren Tennis Center, the Lobsters have hosted the likes of reigning Wimbledon Champion Venus Williams, all-time Grand Slam champion Martina Navratilova, the always popular Anna Kournikova, former Harvard star and US Open Quarterfinalist James Blake and former French Open champion Martina Hingis.  “The New England tennis community has such a deep rooted tradition in tennis. The Lobsters should be positioned to carry on that history,” said StarGames’ President Jerry Solomon.  “From the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Rhode Island to the Longwood Cricket Club in Boston to Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, New England has quietly been at the forefront of tennis for decades.  We hope to help Bahar carve a place for World Team Tennis in that history. Bahar Uttam was a co-founder and Chairman of Synetics Corporation which was acquired by ACS Corporation and subsequently, Lockheed Martin. He has served as a member of the Dean's Council at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, the Governor's Committee on International Trade, and currently serves on the Board of the USTA Tennis & Education Foundation. His most coveted recognition was selection as “The Tennis Nut” of New England by the USTA.  Mr. Uttam’s commitment to tennis is significant.  Most recently he chaired an event honoring long time tennis broadcaster and Boston Globe columnist, Bud Collins.  The funds raised at this event went towards building a new tennis complex in Thailand as well as to support the Tennis Hall of Fame.
