WTA Coach Initiatives

WTA COACH PROGRAM

The 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 offi cially launched during the 2017 season and has since grown to include more than 110 coaches who all enjoy certain benefi ts at WTA events and online. 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 COACHING

On-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 COACHES

In 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 fi rst 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 MEDIA

Following the successful launch and application of the SAP Tennis Analytics for coaches, the new online portal for media named SAP Tennis Analytics for media unveiled 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. In 2019 SAP and the WTA launched a new feature ca“Patterns of Play” which addresses a key need for coaches that are looking for data-based insights into how a rally unfolds. The new feature includes rally analysis, ball-toss analysis, and bounce-to-hit point analysis.

SAP Tennis Analytics for media has been specifi cally 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 fi rst 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.

WTA Player Development

WTA PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Player 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 fulfi llment, 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 scientifi cally proven to keep female tennis players in and at the top of their Game.

MENTOR PROGRAM– PARTNERS FOR SUCCESS

The fi rst 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, exemplifi es the role of a mentor.

PLAYER ORIENTATION– ROOKIE HOURS

Players 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 TRAINING

Players learn how to be prepared, professional and self-expressive in public speaking opportunities. PLANNINGZONE & SCHEDULEZONE

ScheduleZone 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 specifi c to their age, ranking, and individualized scheduling decisions. ScheduleZone is supported with other tennis-specifi c lessons on preparation, performance and recovery.

PLAYER SUPPORT TEAM

Parents, coaches, agents, and fi tness 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 qualifi ed coaching certifi cation.

AGE ELIGIBLITY RULE (AER)

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. 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.

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 qualifi es), plus Fed Cup and Olympics.

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

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

Merited Increases: A player aged 15-17 is allowed up to four merited increases per birth year (i.e. birthday to birthday).

TRANSITIONS

Transitions 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: fi nancial planning and investing; gaining coaching certifi cations; networking and alumnae reunions; online graduate and undergraduate university degree programs; and broadcasting and /business presentations.

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 210 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. 87 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 refl ected in the ITF’s active involvement in a range of circuits including the new ITF World Tennis Tour (incorporating the former Men’s and Women’s Circuits, and Junior Circuit), plus seniors tennis, wheelchair tennis and beach tennis. Dedicated websites for each of these circuits can be found at www.itftennis.com. The women’s ITF World Tennis Tour serves as the pathway between junior tennis and the women’s tour. The results of ITF tournaments are incorporated into the WTA Ranking, which enables professionals to progress through to the elite levels of women’s professional tennis. All players who compete in women’s ITF World Tennis Tour 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. Details of all entry requirements and other related Circuit information can be found www.itftennis.com. 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, the World Cup of Tennis 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 2020 events being held in Tokyo. 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 suffi cient number of qualifi ed 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 million has been invested in tennis development worldwide. For further information visit www.itftennis.com/development. The ITF’s purpose is to ensure the long-term growth and sustainability of tennis. 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 Programme at all WTA events.

In May 2012, the WTA introduced WTA 125K Series events, a new stream of tournaments that provides emerging markets a chance to showcase women’s professional tennis, offering up-and-coming players an opportunity to play additional tournament matches and earn ranking points. With total prize money of $125,000 and 160 ranking points for the champion, WTA 125K Series events are one level above top-tier ITF Women’s Circuit, which offer $115,000 in total prize money and 150 ranking points for the champion.

2020 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 (Dubai, Rome, Cincinnati, Toronto 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 refl ects 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 fi rst 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 fi rst time since her return to the WTA on May 27, 1996, after her sixth tournament in Madrid, Spain. Follow-ing Madrid and until she had played 14 tournaments, or, 18 months after her fi rst tournament (the Canadian Open in August 1995), her average was calculated using a divisor of the actual number of tour-naments she had played. Seles would be co-ranked with the player whose average is immediately below her average. After February 1997, or on completion of her 14th tournament following her 1995 return, (whichever came fi rst) 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.

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 Serena Williams, who holds the Open Era record with 23 Grand Slam singles titles.

In the Open Era, eight women have won three of the four Grand Slam titles: Lindsay Davenport, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Justine Henin, Martina Hingis, Angelique Kerber, 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, 2020 Roland Garros represents the 113th staging of the event overall, and the 90th edition since interna-

tional players were admitted (the tournament was not held during WWI and WWII). 2020 Roland Garros also marks the

53rd 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. At the 2016 Olympic Tennis Event took place on hardcourts in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, Monica Puig of Puerto Rico captured the fi rst-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 fi fth time in her career, joining Arantxa Sánchez Vicario (ESP) as the only women who have competed in the Olympics fi ve times. As a result of winning silver in mixed doubles with Rajeev Ram, Venus added a fi fth 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 & PioneersWTA Celebrates 50 Years of Women’s Tennis Independence in 2020

The 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

off ered 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 truly independently from the men for the fi rst time, 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 fi nal 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 briefl y to the tour and World TeamTennis in 1974.

Ranked a career-high No.3 in 1970, ROSIE CASALS was 22 when she defeated Judy Dalton in the fi nal of the Virginia Slims Invitational at Houston. Winner of 11 professional singles titles, she reached two Grand Slam fi nals, 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 fi ve 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.

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 fi ve with Margaret Court), earning her career Grand Slam. In singles, she reached the Wimbledon fi nal 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.

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 semifi nals, 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.

Aff ectionately 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 fi ve 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 fi guring as a political force, it was during the fi rst half of the 1970s that King was at the peak of her playing powers. In 1971 alone – the fi rst full Virginia Slims season – she won 17 singles titles and became the fi rst 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.

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 fi rst 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.

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 fi nals included the Aussie Open in 1970, and in 1972 both the US Open and the nascent Virginia Slims Tour’s fi rst 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.

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.

VALERIE ZIEGENFUSS was 21 in 1970. In singles, she reached the Round of 16 at three Grand Slams, and one fi nal on the fl edgling 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.
