3 Why change is necessary (1) 3 Extensive ITF research (supported by WTA and ATP) showing poor return on investment for players and nations with integrity risks. 14,000 professionals ; approximately 600 break even Only 75 out of 210 ITF nations host pro tournaments Emerging talent takes longer to break through Governance of professional tennis is the responsibility of ATP and WTA, who have the right to decide the starting point for entry in their events and with it determine the structure of professional tennis, including the number of professional players. ATP has determined that Challenger level is an appropriate starting point for professional tennis, a position supported by the Independent Review Panel (IRP). ATP points will be reduced at $25k level in 2019 and removed in 2020.
4 Why change is necessary (2) 4 New ITF World Tennis Tour is designed to: Provide a continued and improved route into professional tennis, as well as link junior tennis with the professional game. Help more players earn a financial living from the game Provide more local playing opportunity at the $15,000 level through reduced costs for tournament organisers Better identify the role of the ITF and National Associations and organisers and assistance provided to players on the pathway journey.
5 Branding / naming (1) 5 The Player Pathway will be known under the overall name of the ITF World Tennis Tour. This is the umbrella name for a collection of ITF Circuits played in 2017 by over 22,000 players from 179 countries across 1,662 tournaments. Branding press release and toolkits provided to National Associations and Tournament Organisers in early November.
6 Branding / naming (2) 6 Tournaments will be categorized by gender, prize money (or grade), city, and colour. 15s (offering $15,000 in prize money, fifteens ) 25s ($25,000, twenty-fives ) 60s ($60,000) 80s ($80,000) 100s ($100,000) Options for combined events, hospitality and week number Immediate take-up encouraged but ITF has a practical approach to allow existing 2019 promotional materials to remain unchanged.
7 Branding / naming (3) 7 Multiple branding assets available including: wind breaks, net signage, accreditation, posters, perimeter signage ITF Brand department to work with National Associations and Tournament Directors as required

21 SINGLES ACCEPTANCE
22 SINGLES Player acceptance into tournaments (1) 22 Men s and Women s ITF World Tennis tournaments (15s, 25s, 60s, 80s, 100s) will have the following 6 types of places: 1.

ITF World Tennis Ranking 3. National Rankings 4. Unranked (if necessary) (Special Exempts and Junior Exempts, if required, are taken from the allocation. ITF Junior ranking cannot be used for entry.) 22
23 SINGLES Player acceptance into tournaments (2) 23 R 2. Reserved places 5 places at 15s and 25s level (men and women) to reward performance at a lower level with guaranteed opportunity at a higher level. JR IR IR ITF 15s (men / women) ITF 25s (men / women) ATP Challenger (men) Each 15s tournament will reserve up to 5 places in the Main Draw for Top 100 Juniors (see slide 28) Each $25s tournament will reserve up to 5 places in the Main Draw for the best ITF World Ranked players who apply. Each Challenger tournament (below the current $150k+H level) will reserve 4 main draw places for the best ITF World Tennis Ranked players who apply and 3 places in the qualifying draw. ITF 60s-80s-100s (women) No reserved places in 2019.
24 SINGLES Player acceptance into tournaments (3) Wild Cards 4 wild card places in each Main Draw. 4 wild card places in each Qualifying Draw, with the exception of 5 wild cards at ITF World Tennis Tour 15s tournaments (to increase opportunities for local players). Q 4. Qualifiers 6 qualifying places in each Main Draw for the qualifiers winning 2 rounds in the 24 Qualifying Draw. (Or Lucky Losers) JE 5.

25 SINGLES Player acceptance into tournaments (4) 25 SE 6. Special Exempt Special Exempts available for previous week s Singles Finalists as a reward and to not have to potentially play 2 qualifying matches on the Monday. From 2019, players can be awarded a Special Exempt into the main draw of a tournament which offers prize money of the same category or one category higher. As a result: A 15s tournament finalist can apply for a Special Exempt into a 25s tournament (men and women); A finalist in a 25s tournament can apply for a Special Exempt into a 60s tournament (women only). No Special Exempts into Challengers from 25s (The current rule whereby Special Exempts can be used in any direction between Women s 60s, 80s, and 100s tournaments will remain.)
26 SINGLES Player acceptance into tournaments (5) 26 15s (Men and Women) 25s (Men and Women) 60s-80s-100s (Women) Draw Size - Main Draw Direct Acceptances 14-17* 14-17* 19-22** Qualifiers Reserved for ITF World Rankings ( ITF Reserved ) Reserved for Top 100 ITF Junior Rankings ( Junior Reserved ) Wild Cards Special Exempt (SE) Junior Exempt (JE) Draw Size Qualifying Draw Direct Acceptances Wild Cards * 14 if SE and JE places filled ** 19 if SE and JE places filled 26
27 Principles of Player acceptance (1) 27 A player will automatically be accepted into their best position in a tournament and will not have to choose which ranking to enter with. 1. Most players outside of the Top 300 men and women will have 2 rankings (e.g. ATP and ITF World Tennis Ranking) and may even have an ITF Junior ranking as well. A player will not have to choose which ranking to enter with, the entry system will take into account a player s rankings and calculate which ranking accepts you into your best position in a tournament (unless the player has stated a preference). 2. The Reserved places will only be taken up by players who cannot already be accepted through the Direct Acceptance route. For example, if I am an ITF Junior, ranked 3, but my ATP ranking is good enough to have me accepted into a 15s tournament Main Draw, I will be accepted via Direct Acceptance and not through the Reserved places. 3. The entry system will always prioritise a player into the main draw over qualifying draw. For example, a player s WTA ranking gets them into 25s qualifying draw but their ITF World Tennis Ranking gets them into a Reserved main draw place, the main draw place will have priority. 27
28 Principles of Player acceptance (2) In the event that there are Reserved places not taken up by those with ITF World Tennis Rankings (25s) or ITF Junior rankings (15s), those places will go to Direct Acceptances. 6. If a player accepted into a Reserved place withdraws before the Freeze deadline, he or she can be replaced by another player who has entered and who has an ITF World Tennis Ranking (25s) or ITF Top 100 Junior ranking (15s). 7. Between the Entry Deadline and the Freeze Deadline, there will be 2 Alternates lists at 15s and 25s tournaments: 15s tournaments: Direct Acceptance Alternates list; Junior Reserved Alternates list. 25s tournaments: Direct Acceptance Alternates list; ITF Reserved Alternates list (for those with ITF World Tennis Rankings) A player may find themselves on both Alternates lists at one time, for example by being the next best ATP-ranked player into Qualifying and the next best Junior ranked player into the Junior Reserved places. 8. After the Freeze deadline, there will only be 1 Alternates list, the Direct Acceptance Alternate list. Any withdrawals from the Reserved places after the Freeze deadline will be filled from the Direct Acceptance lists. 28
29 Juniors acceptance into 15s tournaments 29 15s tournaments will reserve up to 5 places for Top 100 Juniors. This can be achieved in 2 ways: 1. The player is a current Top 100 Junior as at the entry deadline of the 15s tournament. 2. A player who has finished their last year competing on the ITF Junior Circuit can carry over their year-end Junior ranking only for the purposes of entering into 15s tournaments and only until the player reaches the age of 19. As a reminder, if the player can be directly accepted into the Main Draw of a 15s tournament through their ATP/WTA or ITF World Tennis Ranking then that is how they will be accepted. The Junior Exempt programme, which rewards Juniors who finish in the Junior year-end Top 20, will remain in place for Junior Exempts will continue to be part of the Direct Acceptance allocation. The application of Age Eligibility Rules to boys and girls will be announced later in

35 Many players, coaches and administrators believe that a player needs to be in the Top 750 at the end of the year to be a professional in 2019, or compete at certain tournament levels. This is not correct. Please distribute the following messages widely: The number of ATP or WTA ranked players at the start of 2019 may be more or less than 750 but will depend entirely on how many players in 2018 earned ATP or WTA points at the tournament levels and rounds that will award those points in In addition, a player does not have to be within the ATP or WTA Top 750 to enter tournaments awarding ATP or WTA points in Players within the Top 750 will be able to play in 15s tournaments (existing play-down rules will remain). The reason for the confusion among players, coaches, administrators is the ITF s analysis that the professional game can support approximately 750 male and 750 female players. But this is a concept not a ranking cut-off. 35
36 DOUBLES ACCEPTANCE
37 DOUBLES Player acceptance into tournaments (1) 37 All ITF tournaments will have a Doubles competition of a Main Draw of 16 teams. Doubles on-site sign-in will be on Monday at 2pm. With tournaments being reduced to 7 days (Monday to Sunday), there will be no qualifying competition for Doubles. In each ITF tournament, 13 of the 16 teams will be accepted by Direct Acceptance. 3 of the teams will be Wild Card teams. Major rule changes for s tournaments (Men and Women) Players must have been accepted into the Singles competition to be eligible for a Direct Acceptance place in the Doubles competition. Players accepted into the Singles Main Draw will have priority over those in the Qualifying competition. Qualifiers into the Singles Main Draw will still be counted as being in the Qualifying competition for the purposes of the Doubles acceptance process, given that the Doubles draw will often take place before Singles qualifying is completed. On-site Alternates not accepted into Singles Qualifying will not be considered for Doubles Direct Acceptance. Unused Doubles Direct Acceptance places will be reallocated as Wild Cards. Wild Card teams do not have to be entered or accepted into the Singles competition. 37
38 DOUBLES Player acceptance into tournaments (2) 38 Men s 25s tournaments Acceptance into Doubles will be based on the Best of concept of a player s singles or doubles ATP rankings (or ITF World Tennis Rankings if needed). ATP Challenger tournaments ATP Challenger tournaments will reserve 2 spaces for the best teams based on the ITF World Tennis Ranking (see slide 39). Details will be announced in due course. Women s 25s-60s-80s-100s tournaments Acceptance into Doubles will be based on the Best of concept of a player s singles or doubles WTA rankings (or ITF World Tennis Rankings if needed). This is a change from 2018, where acceptance is solely based on Doubles rankings. All Women s tournaments WTA ranking (singles or doubles) will take priority over ITF World Tennis Ranking (singles or doubles) for acceptance. National ranking not considered for Doubles acceptance. 38
39 Doubles Draw All Men s / Women s ITF World Tennis Tour tournaments 39 MAIN DRAW NO DOUBLES QUALIFYING for Women tournaments from 2019 onwards
40 Doubles Draw ATP Challenger tournaments 40 MAIN DRAW IR 1 IR IR x 2 places reserved in the Main Draw for the best ITF World ranked team
41 TOURNAMENT ORGANISATION
42 Removing uncertainty: features of ITF World Tennis Tour 15s tournaments and the ITF World Tennis Ranking 42 The ITF World Tennis Ranking is indispensable to the progression of players entering the professional game. The value of an ITF World Tennis Ranking will become clear from Outside of the Top 250/300 players, all players will have an ITF World Tennis Ranking more than those with an ATP or WTA ranking. In the new system, reserving places for ITF World Ranked players ensures rapid tangible progression for the best players, instead of in the current system competing for ATP points with all other players. Player fields at 15s tournaments will remain strong: players ranked as high as 300/400 (ATP/WTA) will enter. Tournaments will also see the best of the new future talent with Junior Top 100 players competing. 85% of the ATP/WTA Top 500 were former Junior Top 100 players.
43 Tournament timeline 43 Entry Deadline 18 days prior to tournament Withdrawal deadline 13 days prior to tournament Between the entry deadline and the freeze deadline, each tournament acceptance list at 15s and 25s level will have 2 alternates list, one for withdrawals from Direct Acceptances and one for withdrawals from the Reserved places. At the Freeze deadline, there will only be 1 alternates list. Withdrawals from either Direct Acceptance or Reserved lists will be filled according to the Direct Acceptance criteria. Freeze deadline Thursday before the tournament Qualifying sign-in / Special Exempt deadline Sunday 6pm Doubles sign-in Monday 2pm
