2014 Boston Lobsters season
# 2014 Boston Lobsters season

The 2014 Boston Lobsters season was the tenth season of the franchise (in its current incarnation) in World TeamTennis (WTT).

The Lobsters had 1 win and 13 losses and finished last in the Eastern Conference. They did not qualify for the playoffs.

## Season recap

### Greene hired as coach

On January 9, 2014, the Lobsters announced that Robert Greene had been hired as the team's new head coach replacing Bud Schultz. Greene was formerly chairman of the United States Tennis Association Olympic Tennis Committee and responsible for the 2008 United States Olympic Tennis Team. Schultz had been the Lobsters head coach since the 2009 season.

### James Blake trades

The Lobsters apparently acquired James Blake who played for the New York Sportimes in 2013, in a trade not revealed to the public until February 11, 2014, when Boston traded Blake to the Springfield Lasers for undisclosed consideration. Blake was not drafted in 2013, and played one match for the Sportimes as a wildcard player. However, John McEnroe appeared for the Sportimes later in the season as a wildcard player as well. Since WTT teams can have only one wildcard player of each gender, the designation of McEnroe as a wildcard player by the Sportimes resulted in their effective release of Blake. With Blake registering for the 2014 marquee player draft, under WTT rules the right to protect him would have reverted to the Philadelphia Freedoms who drafted him as a marquee player in 2012. Therefore, the apparent unreported trade took place between the Lobsters and the Freedoms between the end of the 2012 season and the 2014 marquee player draft.

### Marquee player draft

Since the Lobsters had the worse record of the two conference championship match losers in 2013 at 5 wins and 9 losses, they had the fourth-to-last (fifth) selection in each round of the WTT Marquee Player Draft. The Lobsters passed on making any selections at the marquee player draft.

### Isner returns to Lobsters

On March 4, 2014, the Lobsters re-signed John Isner, the top-ranked American male player at the time, as a wildcard player. Isner had previously played for the Lobsters from 2010 to 2012. Upon announcement of the signing, Isner said, "I'm excited to return to play for the Boston Lobsters. I love being part of a team and I'm looking forward to playing in front of the great Lobsters fans."

### Roster player draft

After the contraction of the Las Vegas Neon, the Lobsters moved up to the fourth selection in each round of the Roster Player Draft. The Lobsters protected Eric Butorac and drafted Sharon Fichman, Megan Moulton-Levy and 2005 WTT Male Rookie of the Year and 2007 WTT Championship Most Valuable Player Rik de Voest in the WTT Roster Player Draft. De Voest had been left unprotected by the Springfield Lasers.

### Other free agent player signings

On July 7, 2014, the Lobsters signed Caitlin Whoriskey as a substitute player.

On July 12, 2014, the Lobsters re-signed Coco Vandeweghe as a substitute player. She had previously played for the team in 2010 and 2011.

On July 18, 2014, the Lobsters signed Scott Lipsky as a substitute player.

On July 21, 2014, the Lobsters signed James Cerretani as a substitute player.

On July 22, 2014, the Lobsters signed Julia Cohen as a substitute player.

### Struggles on the court

The Lobsters struggled throughout the entire season. They lost all five sets in five of their matches and also failed to win at least 10 games five times.

After starting the season with six straight losses, the Lobsters broke through for their only win of the season on July 15, 2014, at home against the Austin Aces. Boston raced out to a 10–0 lead by sweeping all five games in each of the first two sets. Rik de Voest opened the match with a set win in men's singles. Sharon Fichman and Megan Moulton-Levy followed by taking the women's doubles. The Aces responded with a furious comeback attempt winning the next three sets to send the match to overtime with he Lobsters leading, 19–15. After dropping the first three games of overtime, Moulton-Levy and de Voest were one game away from facing a super tiebreaker when they won the fourth game to seal a 20–18 victory. The pair of 5–0 set wins to open the match were the only two sets in which the Lobsters blanked their opponent during the entire season.

The Lobsters ended the season with a seven-match losing streak and a 16-set losing streak. They finished with 1 win and 13 losses, the worst record in WTT. The Lobsters were the only team in the league that failed to win at least 200 games and the only WTT team to lose at least 300 games. Every other team in the league won at least six matches.
