April 10, 2019 — The WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) and PTR (Professional Tennis Registry) recently signed an agreement designating PTR as an Official Partner of the WTA Coach Program. For several years, PTR and WTA have worked closely together to facilitate formal coaching pathways for tour-level players and their coaches, and moving this partnership forward will solidify cooperation between the two global organizations.

Established in January 2017, the WTA Coach Program has been designed to professionalize, standardize, and recognize the important role of coaching on the WTA Tour. Under the new agreement, WTA and PTR will partner on a number of high-impact community outreach and educational projects, including certification through the WTA Tour Coach Program — with a particular focus on WTA Alumnae, or former tour players.
