We have made it clear that everyone has a role to play if the sport is achieve its environmental sustainability ambitions, and there are practical actions that we can all take to have an impact, however big or small. “This will necessarily be a long-term plan but we know that changes to climate and our environment are the most significant concern for younger generations. The climate crisis, resource scarcity and changes to the natural environment represent global challenges but will have an impact on tennis in Britain at all levels. “We are pleased that the LTA has signed up to the UN Sports for Climate Action movement and the collective Race to Zero. Everyone has a role to play, so we applaud their plans to reduce their own climate impacts, and also their ambition to support the venues, volunteers, coaches and players involved in tennis in Britain, to make a difference together.” We will therefore take steps to reduce its own direct impacts from its operations and major events, but also support the wider tennis community to be more sustainable in its role as national governing body for tennis in Britain. Doing so will not only have a positive impact far beyond our own operations, but also most effectively support tennis in Britain in the face of rising energy costs, and changes to the environment. We believe that to deliver its vision of ‘Tennis Opened Up’ it has an important role to play in contributing to a healthier and a more sustainable society, and to grow tennis in Britain in a responsible way, protecting and supporting the environment and tackling our climate impacts.

Appeal? That’s the general, for the men’s matches,” former two-time Grand Slam champion Mauresmo said.
