Jennifer Capriati returned to tennis Wednesday night, looking much more like a young phenomenon than a troubled schoolgirl who was arrested for carrying marijuana. Capriati lost to Anke Huber of Germany, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, in the first round of the $750,000 Virginia Slims of Philadelphia.

“I thought I played good,” Capriati said. “It was really great to be out there again.”

Capriati had not played a tournament match since Aug. 31, 1993, when she was eliminated by little-known Leila Meskhi in the first round of the U.S. Open. She left the tour and went through months of personal and legal problems.

Schenectady, N.Y., will join World TeamTennis with an expansion team in 1995, the league announced. The franchise plans to offer free admission to matches. Other expansion candidates are Cleveland, Nashville, Omaha and Springfield, Mo.
