Our History

The WTCA is the first of its kind; being the only professional global organization formed solely in support of coaches working with female players. Founded in 2015 by former WTA tour player and Grand Slam winning coach Sarah Stone. A team of global experts including the WTCA’s first president former world number 29 Ann Grossman Wunderlich, WTA top 100 player Alexa Glatch and former WTA player and Tennis Australia national coach Nicole Kriz worked together with Stone to set up the frame work for what is now a thriving international platform.

The original executive team consulted with international business experts that included original board members Brian Thomson, Deborah Miller.

Over the 8 years that the WTCA has existed, we have been supported at our events by speakers including Billie Jean King, Lindsay Davenport, Justine Henin, Mary Pierce, Gigi Fernandez, Kathy Rinaldi, Nick Bolliteri, Robert Lansdorp, Dr Mark Kovacs, Judy Murray and many more.

A Global Community

The WTCA Represents and supports coaches and player from around the world.

The WTCA was formed in 2015 by leading coaches around the globe. An assembly represented by the United States, Belgium and Australia, including former top 30 WTA players and coaches, came together with the vision of raising the level of coaching in women’s tennis.

Often times, players and employers are looking specifically to hire a professional who is not only experienced but has a passion for women’s tennis.

Change-Makers

Our platform brings together the leading coaches in the field of coaching women’s tennis for the first time.

As a community, we strive to support one another in our common goal of a higher professional standard of coaches in women’s tennis
At the time of establishing the basic framework of the WTCA, it was documented that only 8.5% of top 200 WTA players, had females listed as their coaches.
We believe that with that number advancing to equal representation of male and female coaches, the overall level of professional coaches the number of female coaches in the industry will go up.
Today, in the women’s game, there are countless standout male coaches who have dedicated their careers to furthering women’s tennis. A number of expert male coaches are representatives on the WTCA board.

Our Principles

At The WTCA we recognize:

that while certain differences exist between female and male tennis players, there is no requirement to coach them differently.
the development of a tennis player centers on the athlete as an individual rather than a gender.
with this quality leadership in mind, we can look forward to a future where women’s tennis will continue to lead the globe as a sport recognized for its superior athletes and humanitarianism.
