The National Tennis League (NTL) was formed by George McCall in 1967, as a governing body to a US Professional tennis tour. It was key in moving tennis from a mostly amateur sport to a professional sport.Proposals for Open Tennis were always defeated by conservative elements within the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF-later the ITF). In 1967, however, two new professional groups were formed: the National Tennis League (NTL), founded by former U.S. Davis Cup captain George McCall, and World Championship Tennis (WCT), co-founded by New Orleans Sports Promotor, David Dixon, and Lamar Hunt.
