WTA Player Development

WTA PLAYER DEVELOPMENTPlayer Development is the WTA’s education and resource center, outreaching to WTA players and their support teams. Player Development programs promote and enhance players’ career fulfillment, safety and well-being. “How”, you might ask? Players access WTA services and gain concrete skills to maximize their performance and mitigate the known environmental stressors.  Player Development programs are scientifically proven to keep female tennis players in and at the top of their Game.

MENTOR PROGRAM– PARTNERS FOR SUCCESSThe first mentor program in professional sports, Partners For Success brings together young players with veteran and retired players who share their dynamic experience to help these protégés make a smooth transition into their careers. Billie Jean King, the program’s historian, exemplifies the role of a mentor.

PLAYER ORIENTATION– ROOKIE HOURSPlayers learn the on-site realities and responsibilities of being a participant on the WTA. The orientation helps the players understand the building blocks of the business and her responsibilities and opportunities.

MEDIA TRAININGPlayers learn how to be prepared, professional and self-expressive in public speaking opportunities.  PLANNINGZONE & SCHEDULEZONEScheduleZone is an interactive, online tool that players and their support teams use to optimize performance and career longevity, and minimize the risks of injury. Players plan their upcoming tournament season taking critical factors into account as they receive feedback specific to their age, ranking, and individualized scheduling decisions. ScheduleZone is supported with other tennis-specific lessons on preparation, performance and recovery.

PLAYER SUPPORT TEAM Parents, coaches, agents, and fitness trainers are an integral part of each player’s career. The WTA is committed to providing information to these support team members, ranging from what players will encounter in the professional arena to the rules and expectations that govern all parties in the environment, including adherence to the Code of Conduct and, for credentialed coaches, possession of a qualified coaching certification.

AGE ELIGIBLITY The Age Eligibility Rule progressively allows players to play more and at a higher level by phasing them into professional tennis in accordance with their age, their ranking and the skills gained from participation in Player Development. Questions can be referred to Sarka Vitkova at svitkova@wtatennis.com or by referencing the WTA Rulebook. TRANSITIONSTransitions is the culmination of the player journey and provides sophisticated education, training and career guidance to maximize opportunities, in business and in life, during the tennis career and after. Current and alumnae players have access to a range of programs, including: financial planning and investing; gaining coaching certifications; networking and alumnae reunions; online graduate and undergraduate university degree programs; and broadcasting and /business presentations.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT - HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVEAs part of the WTA’s overall committed approach to the well-being and success of its players, Player Development programs have been offered since 1995 to facilitate skill development, promote career fulfillment and longevity, and minimize the physical, psychological and developmental risks of competing in women’s professional tennis. In 2004, the WTA marked the 10-year anniversary of these model programs by conducting an extensive review, guided by the Player Development Advisory Panel. The Panel is an independent, volunteer body of leading international sports sciences and medicine professionals with extensive experience with female professional athletes and tennis players. The panel is commissioned annually to advise the WTA on all aspects of its athlete growth and development programs.

WTA Player Developmentcontinued

SUMMARY OF REVIEW FINDINGS Since their implementation in 1995, the WTA’s innovative Player Development programs have been proven successful at addressing the athletes’ top stress and performance-related factors, reducing burn-out and increasing career longevity. Specific statistics include: · Premature retirements (prior to age 22) dropped from 7% to less than 1%. · Playing careers are lasting 24% longer and a WTA player was 73% more likely to enjoy a 15-year career in 2004

compared with 1994. · 1994 athlete stressors such as media, loneliness and family are no longer at the top of the list. Performance-

based stressors, including injuries, expectations and competition are of increased concern and while common in pro sports, are importantly addressed through the Roadmap and other WTA programs.

· Players and the tennis community overwhelmingly (90% overall) support the need for Player Development programs.

PANEL CONCLUSIONS · The programs and rule have greatly reduced burnout while fostering the health, development and long-

term success of young athletes. · The WTA’s Player Development is recognized as a model within the sports community in its approach to helping

athletes anticipate and manage the physical and psychological demands of full-time professional tennis. · Early exposure to the programs is creating a new generation of athlete who can mitigate the sport’s external

factors (family, media, etc.) to focus more on important performance factors (expectations, injuries, etc.) that maximize career potential.

AGE ELIGIBILITY RULE (AER) HIGHLIGHTS:A 14-year-old may play up to 8 professional events (WTA & ITF Women’s Circuit), no more than 3 of which

can have prize money at $60K or greater; plus Fed Cup. A 15-year-old may play up to 10 professional events (WTA & ITF Women’s Circuit), WTA Finals (if she

qualifies), plus Fed Cup. A 16-year-old may play up to 12 professional events (WTA & ITF Women’s Circuit), WTA Finals (if she qualifies),

plus Fed Cup. A 17-year-old may play up to 16 professional events (WTA & ITF Women’s Circuit), WTA Finals (if she qualifies),

plus Fed Cup. In the WTA Year of her 17th birthday a player may be named to the Top 10 and/or Premier Player Lists.

Merited Increases: A player aged 15-17 is allowed up to four merited increases per birth year (i.e. birthday to birthday). Merited increases are in addition to a player’s allotted number of Tournaments under the AER, and may be earned as follows:

· WTA Premier Mandatory (PM)/Grand Slam (GS) eligibility: A player must be a direct ranking acceptance into the Main Draw or Qualifying of PM/GS events. Players may include up to two Grand Slam events in their total number of four merited increases. However, if a player accepts a Wild Card into a PM or GS event rather than entering through direct ranking acceptance, the tournament shall be included into her total allotment of Tournaments under the AER rather than as a merited increase.

· Pro Path: A player who is a Year-end Top 5 ITF Junior and/or has reached the singles final of a Junior Grand Slam tournament may earn up to two merited increases at age 15 and up to three merited increases at ages 16 and 17.

· If a player is eligible under both the WTA Premier Mandatory/Grand Slam and the Pro Path, she may combine opportunities to reach the maximum of four merited increases per birth year. WTA Premier Mandatory/Grand Slam and Pro Path merited increases can be used when a player and her support team have completed all related Player Development requirements to-date. However, if a player has not completed her Player Development requirements prior to taking the merited increase, then participation in what would otherwise be a merited increase event is counted against her total allotment of Tournaments under the AER.

· An 18-year-old may play an unlimited number of professional tournaments, Fed Cup and the WTA Finals. The player will remain a full participant in Player Development until notified of graduation.

· Mandatory Play: All players, regardless of age, who by ranking (including Special Rankings) qualify for acceptance into the Main Draw of a Premier Mandatory Tournament (Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Beijing) or the Main Draw of a Grand Slam will be entered automatically. A player who has reached her maximum number of professional tournaments under the Age Eligibility Rule prior to such mandatory Tournaments will not be allowed to play in the Mandatory Tournament and will be assessed a fine and/or receive zero ranking points unless she meets the requirements for it to count in addition to her allotted number of Tournaments.

This serves as a brief view of the Age Eligibility Rule. The complete version of the Age Eligibility Rule is outlined in the WTA Rulebook.

WTA Coach Initiatives

WTA COACH PROGRAMThe newly created WTA Coach Program is designed to professionalize, standardize, and recognize the important role of coaching on the WTA, signifying that coaches are a key element of the WTA business. WTA coaches who meet the minimum criteria and enroll are recognized as a WTA Registered Coach under the WTA Coach Program.

This program officially launched during the 2017 season and has since grown to include more than 50 coaches who all enjoy certain benefits at WTA events. WTA Registered Coaches have become an active partner in promoting the WTA, players, tournaments and women’s professional tennis around the world. The program gives fans the ability to get closer to the game and the on-court action through coaches.

ON-COURT COACHINGOn-court coaching was officially added to the WTA Rulebook in 2009 after extensive testing of the concept and strong support from various constituents including broadcasters and tournaments. On-court coaching allows a player (or team) to request her coach to come on court once per set either on a change of ends or at the end of a set. A player or team may also request their coach to come on court if their opponent takes either a toilet break or a medical timeout.

A player must designate her on-court coach prior to the start of her match. For doubles, both players may designate an on-court coach, however only one coach is permitted on court at a time. All coaches called on court during televised matches will be required to wear a microphone to capture the coaching conversation for viewers to hear.

SAP TENNIS ANALYTICS FOR COACHESIn August 2015, the WTA launched the SAP Tennis Analytics for coaches powered by SAP HANA. The application allows for real-time statistics and data during matches. For the first time ever in professional tennis, players and coaches can access real-time performance data during live match play. SAP Tennis Analytics for coaches is available exclusively for the WTA and available on WTA-authorized tablets. It provides insight to help players and coaches analyze performance and optimize strategy. Examples of statistics include: 1) side-by-side comparisons of the full list of match stats for both players updated every 15 seconds; 2) scoring data that analyzes player’s service performance, success rate in closing out a game while serving and number of break points saved and 3) tracking data which shows player’s serve direction and placement on the court, contact point for returning a serve and placement of rally shots, along with much more.

SAP TENNIS ANALYTICS FOR MEDIAFollowing the successful launch and application of the SAP Tennis Analytics for coaches, the new online portal for media named SAP Tennis Analytics for media unveils for the 2018 season. This is the latest technology stemming from an ongoing partnership between SAP and the WTA. The software uses innovative technologies and analytics to enhance the sport for tennis for players, coaches, tournament organizers, media and fans.

SAP Tennis Analytics for media has been specifically developed as a resource for media covering WTA tournaments. The software helps enhance stories before, during and after matches and serves as a comprehensive database housing key and informative WTA stats gathered over the course of 20 years. Additionally, the solution provides real-time statistics with context for the first time, placing data and insights in the one place. Examples include alerts to outliers of benchmarked data, a tournament performance center and post-match insights. SAP Tennis Analytics for media delivers a tailored experience that can be customized based on individual needs. The technology is available across devices, including mobile phones and tablets, so the media can access the portal no matter where they are located as well as when they are on the go.

For further information on the ITF and its activities, please visit its website:

www.itftennis.com

As the world governing body of tennis, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) is responsible for every level of the sport including the regulation of rules and the future development of the game. Based in London, the ITF currently has 211 member nations and six regional associations, which administer the game in their respective areas, in close consultation with the ITF. The ITF is committed to promoting tennis around the world and encouraging as many people as possible to play the game. An estimated 100 million people enjoy playing tennis in more than 200 countries worldwide, making tennis one of the few truly global sports. The breadth of appeal is appropriately reflected in the ITF’s active involvement in a range of circuits including lower level professional events, junior tennis, seniors tennis, wheelchair tennis and beach tennis. Dedicated websites for each of these circuits can be found at www.itftennis.com. During 2016, 566 ITF Women’s Circuit tournaments were organized in 63 countries worldwide, enabling players to gain experience and earn the ranking points necessary to enter WTA events. The ITF Women’s Circuit, which forms part of the ITF Pro Circuit, is the vital link between junior tennis and the women’s tour. During 2016, the total amount of prize money available on the Circuit was more than $11 million. All players who compete in ITF Pro Circuit tournaments must register for annual IPIN Membership (an IPIN fee is payable), giving them access to the IPIN Online Service, which allows them to manage their playing schedule on the Circuit. For details of all entry requirements and other related Circuit information visit www.itftennis.com/procircuit. The ITF actively promotes the importance of representing one’s country whether at the Olympics or within the team competition format. The men’s

Davis Cup by BNP Paribas and women’s Fed Cup by BNP Paribas are the largest annual international team competitions in sport and most prized in the ITF’s event portfolio. Both have a rich history and have consistently attracted the best players from each passing generation. Further information is available at www.daviscup.com and www.fedcup.com. The Olympic and Paralympic Tennis Events are also an important part of the ITF’s responsibilities, with the 2016 events being held in Rio. For further information visit www.itftennis.com/olympics. The development of tennis sits at the heart of the ITF’s vision. The core objectives are increasing participation in tennis worldwide for all ages, playing standards and physical abilities; and the development of talented players, particularly those from nations that are both under-resourced and under-represented. The ITF aims to create a progressive global event structure from introductory to senior professional levels; educate a sufficient number of qualified coaches; support the development of new and existing facilities worldwide; and facilitate the learning and playing of tennis, and retention of players. Development programme activities are funded jointly by the ITF and the Grand Slam Development Fund. Since 1985 over $100 has been invested in tennis development worldwide. For further information visit www.itftennis.com/development One of the ITF’s most important tasks is to safeguard the future of the game. This is achieved through governance of the rules of tennis, conducting research into the technical aspects of tennis and by keeping ahead of all new trends and issues. Regulation of the sport also includes keeping tennis free from drugs, and the ITF is responsible for the management, administration and enforcement of the Tennis Anti-Doping Program at all WTA events.

2018 WTA Ranking System

The WTA rankings are based on a 52-week, cumulative system. A player's ranking is determined by her results at a maximum of 16 tournaments for singles and 11 for doubles.

The tournaments that count towards a player's ranking are those that yield the highest ranking points during the rolling 52-week period. They must include points from the Grand Slams and Premier Mandatory tournaments; for those players who qualify, ranking points earned at the WTA Finals will count as the 17th bonus tournament. For Top 20 players, their best two results at Premier 5 tournaments (Doha, Rome, Cincinnati, Montreal and Wuhan) will also count.

In order to appear on the WTA rankings, players must earn ranking points in at least three tournaments, or a minimum of 10 singles ranking points or 10 doubles ranking points in one or more tournaments.

* When Chris Evert played her last WTA match at the 1989 US Open, she was world No. 4.

** Ranking reflects only four tournaments as a result of inability to play following April 30, 1993, stabbing in Hamburg, Germany.

*** Monica Seles was co-ranked No. 1 for her first six tournaments when she returned to the Tour on Tuesday, August 15, 1995, in Toronto.

**** Seles’ special ranking status was revised in 1996, where she received a ranking average for the first time since her return to the WTA on May 27, 1996, after her sixth tournament in Madrid, Spain. Following Madrid and until she had played 14 tourna-ments, or, 18 months after her first tournament (the Canadian Open in August 1995), her average was calculated using a divi-sor of the actual number of tournaments she had played. Seles would be co-ranked with the player whose average is immedi-ately below her average. After February 1997, or on completion of her 14th tournament following her 1995 return, (whichever came first) Seles would no longer receive special ranking status.w

SINGLES — PRE-MODERN RECORD Helen Wills Moody did not lose a set in singles from 1927 to 1932. Suzanne Lenglen was defeated only once in singles from 1919 to 1926 and that was in a match against Molla Mallory at the US Championships in 1921, in which she retired while trailing in the second set. Exact numbers of match victories are unavailable due to incomplete records from that era.

After losing the final to Billie Jean King and Anne Smith at the Tournament of Champions in Orlando, FL-USA, on April 24, 1983, Navratilova/Shriver won 109 consecutive matches before falling to Kathy Jordan/Elizabeth Smylie in the 1985 Wimbledon final on July 6, 1985.

Grand Slam Champions

The Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and US Open are the four Grand Slam tournaments. Winning the title at each major in the same year is known as the “Grand Slam”. Three women have completed the singles Grand Slam in a calendar year: 1953 – Maureen Connolly; 1970 – Margaret Court; 1988 – Stefanie Graf.

A further seven women have won each Grand Slam singles title at least once in their careers (known as the career Grand Slam): Doris Hart, Shirley Fry, Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, with Navratilova (1983-84) and Williams (2002-03, 2014-15) holding all four titles at the same time.

Australia’s Margaret Court holds the record for all-time Grand Slam singles titles (men or women) with 24 titles, ahead of Stefanie Graf and Serena Williams, who holds the Open Era record with 23 Grand Slam singles titles.

In the Open Era, seven women have won three of the four Grand Slam titles: Lindsay Davenport, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Justine Henin, Martina Hingis, Hana Mandlikova, Monica Seles and Virginia Wade.

The first national French Championships for women were held in 1897, with foreign competitors eligible to take part from 1925. As such, 2018 Roland Garros represents the 111th staging of the event overall, and the 88th edition since international players were admitted (the tournament was not held during WWI and WWII). 2018 Roland Garros also marks the 51st staging of the Open Era (which began in 1968). The singles main draw will feature 128 players (108 direct entries, 12 qualifiers, eight wildcards). Roland Garros has been a 128-draw since 1981 in addition to 1968 and 1972. Previously the event was staged as a 64-draw (1969-71, 1973-80).

Olympic Games

Tennis returned to the Olympic Games as a medal sport at Seoul in 1988, after a 64-year absence. The 2016 Olympic Tennis Event took place on hardcourts in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. Monica Puig of Puerto Rico captured the first-ever gold medal for Puerto Rico (any sport), defeating three Grand Slam winners (Petra Kvitova, Garbiñe Muguruza and Angelique Kerber) en route to the Olympic title.

At Rio, Venus Williams competed at the Olympics for the fifth time in her career, joining Arantxa Sánchez Vicario (ESP) as the only women who have competed in the Olympics five times. As a result of winning silver in mixed doubles with Rajeev Ram, Venus added a fifth Olympic medal to her collection. Four women have won four or more medals at the Olympics: Kathleen McKane (1 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze), Aranxta Sánchez Vicario (2 silver, 2 bronze), Serena Williams (4 gold) and Venus Williams (4 gold, 1 silver).

At London in 2012, Serena won gold medals in singles and doubles, joining sister Venus (2000 Sydney) and Helen Wills (1924 Paris) as the only women to win a gold medal in both singles and doubles in the same year at the Olympics.

The Original 9 – Tennis Players & Pioneers

T he introduction of Open Tennis in 1968 brought an end to ‘shamateurism’ but it didn’t do much for the women who played the sport. In fact,

the gulf in prize money offered to men compared to women only grew. Adding insult to injury, there were no tournaments where the women could shine on their own terms; typically they were relegated to the outside courts.

The situation came to a head in the summer of 1970 when pay ratios hit 8:1 in favor of the men - if not worse. Some of the game’s biggest names envisaged a better future and so they joined forces with World Tennis publisher Gladys Heldman, a potent advocate with supportive business contacts like Joe Cullman, the chairman of Philip Morris.

Facing tennis establishment threats that they would be banned from playing Grand Slam tournaments and lose their national rankings, nine women took a leap of faith. On September 23, 1970 they signed $1 contracts with Heldman to compete in the groundbreaking Virginia Slims Invitational at the Houston Racquet Club.

The Original 9, as they would come to be known, comprised Billie Jean King, Rosie Casals, Nancy Richey, Judy Dalton, Kerry Melville Reid, Julie Heldman, Peaches Bartkowicz, Kristy Pigeon and Valerie Ziegenfuss. Casals defeated Dalton in the final of the Houston event, which boasted a total prize purse of $7,500. But they had all played a part in proving a winning formula.

Buoyed by the success of Houston, Heldman and Cullman promptly announced a series of tournaments around the United States in 1971, under the Virginia Slims banner. Traditional events had to raise their game or risk fading away, and the momentum led to the formation of the WTA in 1973. Women’s tennis hasn’t looked back.

JANE ‘PEACHES’ BARTKOWICZ was 21 when she signed her $1 contract to play at the Houston Invitational in 1970. After a stellar junior career that saw her win countless national titles as well as the Wimbledon girls’ singles title as a 15-year-old, Bartkowicz went on to post wins over the likes of Virginia Wade and Evonne Goolagong, reaching the quarters at the US Open in 1968 and 1969, and winning the Canadian Open in 1968. A member of the

victorious US Fed Cup side in 1969, she initially retired in 1971, before returning briefly to the tour and World TeamTennis in 1974.

She says: “It was a no brainer that something had to be done so when Houston came up, I didn’t hesitate – especially with Gladys Heldman behind it. She owned a tennis magazine, was female, and her daughter Julie played, so I knew she was interested in all of us. To be honest, I was sort of intimidated by Gladys. She was a very forceful woman, but very nice and I knew she knew what she was doing. I came to see that if you do it in tennis, or in business, or wherever, there can be a domino effect and in the long run you’ll help everybody.”

Ranked a career-high No.3 in 1970, ROSIE CASALS was 22 when she defeated Judy Dalton in the final of the Virginia Slims Invitational at Houston. Winner of 11 professional singles titles, she reached two Grand Slam finals, both at the US Open, falling to Margaret Court in 1970 and to Billie Jean King in 1971. Her haul of 112 doubles titles, including five Wimbledon crowns with King among nine Grand Slam wins, ranks second only to Martina Navratilova; she also won three mixed doubles majors. A member of seven winning US Fed Cup teams, she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1996.

She says: “Jeopardizing the chance to play Grand Slams was probably the riskiest part of going against the old establishment. What else were we risking? We were really second class citizens when we played at the sanctioned tournaments alongside the men – and that meant all tournaments. In that sense we didn’t have a lot to lose. On the other hand, the Grand Slams were everything to us at that time. It wasn’t just about money, it was about recognition, being given places to play and being paid fairly for something you did well.”

JUDY DALTON was 32 when she was runner-up to Rosie Casals at the Virginia Slims Invitational in Houston. During her career Dalton (née Tegart) won nine Grand Slam doubles titles (including five  with Margaret Court), earning her career Grand Slam. In singles, she reached the Wimbledon final in 1968, upsetting Court and Nancy Richey before succumbing

to Billie Jean King. From Wimbledon in 1967 until her retirement at 40 after the 1977 Australian Open, Dalton reached at least the quarters in 10 of 20 majors played. She was a member of two victorious Fed Cup squads.

She says: “The politicking in tennis was really hard, but when we signed the $1 contracts we knew it was the right thing to do. I’d help circulate a questionnaire at the US Open, which asked for the public’s views on women’s tennis. Some male fans actually said they enjoyed it more because they could associate their own games with the longer rallies. I just think it’s terrific there are players from so many countries now. I don’t think we really could have dreamed tennis would become such an international sport.”

Gladys Heldman’s daughter, JULIE HELDMAN, was 25 in 1970. During her career she won 25 singles titles, including the Italian Open, reached three Grand Slam singles semifinals, and peaked at No.2 in the United States in 1969 (No.5 in the world). She was a member of three victorious Fed Cup teams before leaving the tour in 1975.

She says: “The tension was clear – everyone’s life was going to be turned upside down. The men tennis players were against us. The tennis administrators were against us – remember, there were no women tennis administrators back then. It was a matter of leaping into a complete unknown. People had to make their own decisions and my decision was in favor of solidarity. It didn’t take long for me to tie it in to the bigger picture, because we had women come out all over in support of us.”

Affectionately known as the Old Lady, BILLIE JEAN KING was not even 27 when she took on the role of ringleader at Houston in 1970. By this point she had won five of her 12 Grand Slam singles titles (among 39 majors overall) and spent time as No.1 in both singles and doubles. Yet she was far from done, on court or off. While figuring as a political force, it was during the first half of the 1970s that King was at the peak of her playing powers. In 1971 alone – the first full Virginia Slims season – she won 17 singles titles and became the first female athlete to earn $100,000 in prize money in a single year. In 1973 she beat Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes and became founding president of the WTA.

She says: “We knew that to really have a future, we had to have a tour, or a series of tournaments. We had no idea what was going to happen but we had the dream, the vision. We wanted every little girl in the world to have the opportunity to play and if she was good enough, make a living from tennis. And we were also talking way beyond sport, about changes in society. Remember, we were just getting into the women’s movement. We were very fortunate culturally with the timing, and I think we probably created some of it.”

In 1970, NANCY RICHEY was a 28-year-old two-time Grand Slam singles champion, having won the 1967 Australian Open and 1968 Roland Garros – the first major of the Open Era. During her two-decade career the Texan won 69 singles titles and ranked as high at No.2 in 1969. She also won four Grand Slam doubles titles. Richey retired after the 1978 US Open at the age of 36 and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2003.

She says: “I knew tennis back in the amateur days when we had to take the subway from Midtown out to Forest Hills carrying our bags, then take the subway back, the bags weighing 50 pounds more full of wet tennis clothes. No money, no lunchroom, nothing. Now the players are playing for millions, the women get equal prize money and the game has grown. I think it’s absolutely fantastic. Every time I walk into Flushing Meadows I hug myself, because it’s what we dreamed would happen in our game.”

KERRY MELVILLE REID was 23 when she played at Houston in 1970. Among 22 singles titles won during her career she won her home Grand Slam, the Australian Open, in 1977. A further 40 finals included the Aussie Open in 1970, and in 1972 both the US Open and the nascent Virginia Slims Tour’s first season-ending championships – the event now known as the WTA Finals. A Top 10 regular throughout the Seventies, she won three doubles majors, including 1978 Wimbledon with Wendy Turnbull.

She says: “I wanted a better deal, of course, but I wouldn’t put myself in the feminist category. I think my parents were a little concerned, but I felt we had a strong leader in Billie Jean – she was a top player and she was powerful. As the two Australians in the Original 9, Judy Dalton and I were banned from playing at home for a while, but everything turned out fine. Some of the other girls took more time to come on board and I could understand – it was a big decision to make in your career.”

The youngest member of the Original 9, KRISTY PIGEON was just 20 when she took a stand at the Virginia Slims Invitational in 1970. After winning  the US girls’ title and junior Wimbledon, Pigeon went on to reach the Round of 16 of the ladies’ singles at the All England Club in 1968 and 1969, and made the US Top 10. She left the Tour in 1975, having represented the US in team competitions and won the Welsh Open.

She says: “I went to schools in Oakland and Berkeley that promoted huge feminist attitudes… I remember Betty Frieden coming to give a lecture. But I think a lot of those true original feminists were missing the point by burning bras. In a way, they didn’t make nearly as many waves as we tennis players did. We demonstrated that as sportspeople we were as interesting as the men. Our competition was stimulating to watch and could pull the people in. For me, that’s a more powerful way of establishing equality.”

VALERIE ZIEGENFUSS was 21 in 1970. In singles, she reached the Round of 16 at three Grand Slams, and one final on the fledgling tour, at the Virginia Slims of Oklahoma in 1972. She ranked as high as No.7 in the Unites States in singles, and was the top-ranked doubles player in 1967.

She says: “I played 14 out of 16 weeks but I can’t complain – we wanted our own circuit, so somebody had to do it! The responsibility of promotion came with that but I enjoyed it and I think I was good at it. We all pitched in, we all did what we could do to advance the circuit. And we got to enjoy some glamor thanks to Teddy Tinling. He made me a black velvet halter with rhinestones along the neckline, which went with a silver lamé skirt. It was designed to be worn under the lights in a sports arena and it was gorgeous.”

WTA Legends & Friends Program

The WTA Legends & Friends Program was founded in 2009 as a way for former and current players as well as tournament

directors, broadcast partners, coaches, agents, administrators and friends of tennis to stay in touch while celebrating the past, present and future of our sport.

The initiative was launched by Peachy Kellmeyer, who earned induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2011 in recognition of her outstanding career as a player, coach, pioneer for women’s rights and lifelong WTA executive. Kellmeyer was hired as the first director of the WTA in 1973, and remains actively involved in the organization.

The transition to retirement, and ongoing professional development opportunities, are a key focus. Newsletters are published several times a year to keep the 1000-plus members informed and connected. In partnership with the Women’s Tennis Benefit Association (WTBA), reunions are staged annually with tennis players-turned-commentators Pam Shriver and Mary Carillo serving as popular emcees. To date these celebrations have been hosted in Indian Wells, Melbourne, Charleston,

London, Miami, New York and Stuttgart. In 2018, gatherings are planned during the Australian Open and ... during the Australian Open and Wimbledon as the WTA marks its 45th anniversary.

Each year, a reunion is highlighted by the presentation of the Georgina Clark Mother WTA Award, which is named in memory of the WTA’s former Vice President for European Operations and Worldwide Tour Director, who passed away in 2010. Clark was also the first woman to umpire a Wimbledon final: Chris Evert vs. Martina Navratilova, in 1984.

The award presented in Clark’s honor recognizes women who’ve made a significant contribution to the culture and emotional life of the WTA Family.

Previous recipients include British great Ann Haydon-Jones, women’s tennis pioneer Gladys Heldman, Original 9 member Judy Dalton, French icon Francoise Dürr, former Swedish No.1 Ingrid Lofdahl-Bentzer and Youlia Berberian, who famously coached her three daughters – Manuela, Katerina and Magdalena Maleeva – into the WTA’s Top 10.
