The Florida Flamingos were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT) founded by Ted Cohen and Butch Buchholz.

The Flamingos had 19 wins and 25 losses and finished in third place in the Gulf Plains Section, missing the playoffs.

The Flamingos were founded as WTT's charter franchise for St. Louis, Missouri in 1973, by Pittsburgh businessman Ted Cohen and former tennis player Butch Buchholz.

[1] Before the team ever had a name in St. Louis, the owners decided, with WTT approval, to have the team play its home matches in Miami Beach, Florida at the Miami Beach Convention Center starting with the league's inaugural season in 1974 season and name it the Florida Flamingos.

[3] Once the decision had been made to play in Miami Beach, Flamingos president Ted Cohen secured the services of Frank Froehling as player-coach.

[7] When the season started, Evert hadn't signed with the Flamingos, and her relationship with Connors ended before they ever got married.

The Flamingos mixed doubles team of Betty Ann Grubb and Mark Cox dominated the final set of the match against Karen Hantze Susman and Geoff Masters, 6–2, to complete a heroic comeback.

When they failed to return within 30 seconds, the referee awarded the game to the Flamingos, 4–3, cutting the Lobsters' lead in the match to 20–19.

On July 14, 1974, the Flamingos made national news when they released three-time Wimbledon and four-time US Open champion Maria Bueno, who was 34 years old at the time.

Bueno had lost all four sets of women's singles she had played up to that point in the season and was suffering from an arm injury.

When the team took a road trip to Los Angeles, Stuart, who was managing John Wayne's tennis club in Newport Beach, California at the time, ended the relationship.

When WTT took a midseason break for Wimbledon, Grubb went home to California, and she and Stuart reignited their relationship.
