En una carta abierta cofirmada por David Haggerty (Presidente de Tenis Mundial) y Ross Hutchins (Director Ejecutivo de Tenis Mundial), Tenis Mundial se comprometió a reinvertir en el juego al menos el 85% de todos los ingresos que genere cada año durante la próxima década, empoderando a sus 214 asociaciones nacionales de tenis, y se comprometió a fomentar la colaboración en todo el deporte.

 

1. Incrementar la participación

Conectar y alinear una de las redes más grandes de asociaciones nacionales en el deporte mundial para aumentar el número de jugadores recreativos y permitir que más personas de todas las edades y habilidades disfruten de los beneficios comprobados para la salud y la vida social que ofrece el tenis.

2. Impulsar a las futuras estrellas

Realizar mejoras adicionales en la vía mundial de jugadores de tenis – la principal fuente de talento hacia el juego profesional – abrir nuevos mercados y ofrecer más oportunidades competitivas en todo el mundo.

3. Elevar las competiciones nacionales oficiales

Fortalecer la Copa Davis, la Billie Jean King Cup y la Copa Mundial por Equipos; el punto máximo de la representación nacional en el tenis y la vía hacia los Juegos Olímpicos y Paralímpicos.

4. Asegurar un deporte preparado para el futuro

Liderar el camino para que el tenis atraiga a las futuras audiencias; innovando, conectando naciones digitalmente, protegiendo la integridad y la confianza, evolucionando la gobernanza y promoviendo el bienestar de los jugadores.

5. Raising investment to grow the game

Securing new and stronger revenue streams along with value-driven long-term partnerships, and support reinvestment into tennis via national tennis associations worldwide.

World Tennis today also revealed its goal for the sport to achieve ambitious new levels of global participation, targeting strong growth in the numbers playing tennis worldwide from 106 million players to 140 million by 2035 – an increase of more than 30 percent.

David Haggerty, World Tennis President, said: “Today is an opportunity to redefine our role at the heart of world tennis and pledge our commitment to ensuring a strong, sustainable future for this brilliant sport. World Tennis reflects who we are, our global footprint and unique mandate.

“Our ambition is to grow the game in all corners of the world, hand-in-hand with 214 national tennis associations and stakeholders across the tennis ecosystem. This includes increasing participation, further developing the pathway for future stars to rise to the top, and providing more access, regardless of age, gender or background.”

Ross Hutchins, World Tennis Chief Executive, said: “Tennis can unlock a world of opportunities both on and off the court, no matter who or where you are. This is at the very heart of our role at World Tennis, where our responsibilities are just as relevant to a world number one as to the child who hasn’t yet picked up a racket.

“We begin this exciting new era with a clear vision for our amazing sport to thrive, support stronger communities and help more people to enjoy healthier, happier and longer lives through tennis. We will be bold in our actions to achieve global growth, create more opportunities for all and deliver more investment for every level of our game. And we intend to achieve that future together with all those passionate about tennis around the world.”global tennis community

Listening to the global tennis community

Today, World Tennis has also launched the first-ever Global Tennis Fan Survey – an open invitation to fans and tennis communities in every country to share their views and ensure their voices are heard as the sport evolves in the years ahead.

Every survey respondent will be entered into a draw to win an all expenses paid trip for two to the 2026 Davis Cup Finals in Bologna, Italy.
