10 Advantage All The ITF's Advantage All gender equality programme con nued in 2023 with the goal of ensuring that tennis is an equal sport. We want to improve gender parity across all areas – both on court and off, in roles such as officia ng, coaching and leadership – and support our Na onal Associa ons to do the same. Now in its sixth year, Advantage All is a guiding principle in the implementa on of much of the ITF2024+4 strategy, par cularly within governance and the player pathway. You can read more about its impact in these areas in the Integrity and Wellbeing, and Tours and Player Pathway, sec ons of this Annual Review.

These discussion events, created for a live and online audience, place gender equality in the global tennis spotlight, with panellists providing insight and inspira on to level the playing field for women. The 'History in the Making' event was headlined by Billie Jean King, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Conchita Mar nez in conversa on with Katrina Adams. The legendary former Grand Slam and Billie Jean King Cup winners reflected on their experiences as elite women players, what has changed, and what s ll needs to. Their conversa on was preceded by a panel featuring speakers from ITF commercial partners Gainbridge, the Tory Burch Founda on and La Junta de Andalucia discussing their work to achieve parity.
