Adv Antage Tennis Europe 1 TENNIS EUROPE ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 1 GAME, 49 MEMBER NATIONS, 38,000 CLUBS, 205,000 COURTS, 2,500,000 LICENSED JUNIOR PLAYERS, 12,000,000 LICENSED TENNIS PLAYERS, 26,000,000 PLAYERS, 750,000,000 POPULATION Foreword With 49 member nations, ranging from the giants of the tennis world to the tiniest princi- palities of the continent, Tennis Europe is the largest and most diverse regional association of the sports governing body, the International Tennis Federation. Through sanctioning, supporting and manag- ing over 1,000 international tennis events each year, Tennis Europe services the 26 million play- ers of Europe’s most popular individual sport. OF HISTORY 1975 – 1985 The European Tennis Association was found- ed in Rome on May 31st 1975, in order to represent the united interests of its member national tennis federations, and to strengthen and develop the bonds of friendship in the European tennis community. Within the first ten years, membership increased from 17 to 26 nations. 1985 – 1995 Consolidating its role in world tennis, Tennis Europe accepted a further 20 member nations. 1995 – present A stratified membership system of A, B and C-nation status was established to LONG LINE reflect the differing needs of an increasingly diverse organiza- tion. With 49 member Nation- al Associations, Tennis Eu- rope now represents all European nations. The mission of Tennis Europe, together with our member nations, is to promote and develop the game of tennis in Europe. 2 Jacques Dupré President Tennis Europe This is an exciting time for Tennis Europe. With a committed Board of Management and a streamlined organisational struc- ture headed by our Chief Executive Officer, the organisation is embarking upon a new era of work for the good of the European game. Tennis Europe’s role has evolved dramatically in the years since it was initially formed as the European Tennis Association with 17 members in 1976. Over time, its key activities have extended into many new realms, whilst continuing to perform its tasks as the largest regional association of the sport’s governing body, the International Tennis Federation. All the while, Tennis Europe has been at the forefront of many of the pivotal development schemes that have increased the popularity and accessibility of the sport across the continent, whilst providing first class information and services to its members, and partners. Despite the ever-increasing scope of our work, which includes an administrative involvement in well over 1,000 tennis events each year for boys and girls, men and women of all ages and abilities, we continue to play an instrumental part in the development and promotion of the sport in the 49 nations we represent. That we have been able to engage in these new initiatives whilst continually reinvesting surpluses for the benefit of the sport is a testament to the successes of the policies of our non-profit organisation. Much of this can be attributed to the work of a growing core of passionate and dedicated staff based at the Basel headquarters, and a wider network of committee members, consultants and a dedicated group of partners. European tennis remains as strong as ever. A vast array of junior, professional and senior tennis events across the continent provide a fertile ground for the formative experiences of tomorrow’s top players and cradle-to-grave playing opportunities for the many millions of recreational players. After some testing years, Tennis Europe research and industry reports show that participation rates, equipment sales and spectator numbers are once again growing steadily. Looking to the future with an enthusiastic commitment to furthering the growth of the game, Tennis Europe will continue to serve Europe’s national tennis associations, players, fans and the wider tennis industry. 3 Keep the ball rolling Member Federations To foresee and respond to the needs and interests of its member nations are Tennis Europe’s primary concerns. All constituent countries are invited to nominate representatives for board elections and com- mittee posts. In addition, executives from each member nation have the opportunity to attend a variety of annual conferences, where respected speakers from within the tennis industry join leading national figures to exchange ideas and best practices, and to discuss contemporary issues affecting the sport. 4 Activities Junior Tennis Tennis Europe Junior Tour European Junior Championships Since its inception in 1990, the circuit of some 280 tourna- An exclusive event held over three age cate- ments across three age groups (Under 12, 14 and 16) has gories (Under 14, 16 and 18) for the top players become a vital stepping stone on the path to a successful of each of the 49 European nations, the Euro- professional career, with virtually all of today’s top pro- pean Championships has traditionally been the fessionals having spent some time on the circuit on route to place where tomorrow’s stars ROPEA U N future successes.

Much to his delight, Stefanie Graf entered the Grand Prix for the first time since 1985 but a hand injury thwarted her comeback in Filderstadt. Professor Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, the Grand Prix's great friend and sponsor, died. He last visited the event in 1996 when he handed over the prize - a Boxster - to the young Martina Hingis. His seat in the stand remained empty. 1999 Final: Martina Hingis (SUI) - Mary Pierce (FRA) 6-4 6-1 Winner’s Prize: Porsche Boxster S Prize Money: 500,000 US Dollar Sometimes it is not only spectacular tennis that thrills spectators. It happened in the first changeover of the final between Martina Hingis and Mary Pierce when the crowd applauded a fellow player sitting in the VIP box next to Porsche chairman Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking. A few weeks after retiring from tournament tennis, Stefanie Graf came to Filderstadt to watch the tournament. Martina Hingis raised her racket in the direction of her former rival as if to say, “Come down, do you want to play for me?” Stefanie Graf laughed and refused the offer. She had in the meantime established herself as a keen observer of the sport she had so dominated for over a decade. The final was over in no time at all. Martina Hingis seemed to be in a hurry to win her third Porsche at her sixth appearance at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.

  • An Case Analysis of the UNESCO-WTA Tour
    Serving up change? Corporate Social Responsibility as a Tool for Social Change: A case analysis of the UNESCO-WTA Tour partnership for global gender equality by Courtney Szto A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by Courtney Szto (2011) Serving up change? Corporate social responsibility as a tool for social change: A case analysis of the UNESCO-WTA Tour partnership for global gender equality Master of Science 2011 Courtney Szto Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto Abstract This research project critically questions the power relations inherent in the use of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a tool for international development. My case study focuses on the partnership between UNESCO and the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), which advocates for global gender equality. This discourse analysis seeks to expose the social inequities that may result from CSR by using the theoretical framework of Orientalism and the methodologies of postcolonial feminism and intersectionality. The results suggest that an outdated understanding of gender as the axis of discrimination hinders the attainment of gender equality. Furthermore, Girl Effect type initiatives that promote third-wave feminism are observed to reproduce social inequities through the perpetuation of global capitalism. Key recommendations include a reconceptualization of gender (equality) that accounts for the intersectionality of identities, holistic context specific solutions, and the use of socio-cultural analysis for CSR programming. ii Acknowledgements I have had the privilege of being educated, mentored, and inspired by some outstanding people throughout my graduate studies.
