The organization oversees the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup team competitions, as well as tennis<\/a> at the Olympics and Paralympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is an opportunity to redefine our role at the heart of world tennis and pledge our commitment to ensuring a strong, sustainable future for this brilliant sport,\u201d World Tennis president David Haggerty said Thursday. \u201cWorld Tennis reflects who we are, our global footprint and unique mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other international sport federations have made similar name changes in recent years, such as World Athletics, World Aquatics, World Gymnastics and World Rugby.<\/p>\n

The name switch was ratified last October<\/a> by member national tennis associations voting at the governing body\u2019s annual general meeting.<\/p>

London-based World Tennis works together with the ATP and WTA Tours and the four Grand Slam tournaments \u2014 the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open \u2014 to organize the professional side of the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people think of the T7 as seven governing bodies when in fact they\u2019re not seven governing bodies. They actually have different purposes, which all add together to equal a big pie of a sport,\u201d World Tennis chief executive Ross Hutchins said, adding that the renaming reflects the organization\u2019s \u201cglobal nature.\u201d<\/p>\n
