LTA PLAYER GUIDE 2013

WE’VE listened to your
feedback and are hosting the
player guide online this year,
to ensure that it stays up to
date with the latest results
and statistics.
I hope you find the profiles
and biographies of some
of our talented senior and
junior players useful.
Our support for British
players and for the grass
court season are a key part
of the LTA’s mission to get
more people playing tennis,
more often.
Great British results and
world class tournaments
inspire more people to follow
the sport, and to play tennis,
and we are fortunate to
have partners including the
All England Club and Sport
WELCOME TO THE
2013 BRITISH PLAYER
MEDIA GUIDE
England, who are working
with us to develop the sport.
Grass court tournaments
like the Aegon
Championships at the
Queen’s Club, the Aegon
Classic at the Edgbaston
Priory Club, Birmingham,
and the Aegon International
at Devonshire Park in
Eastbourne, and of course
the greatest of them
all, The Championships,
Wimbledon, provide a
spectacular window out on
to our sport, and a great
opportunity to showcase
tennis as a fun, healthy,
family sport.
We recognise the vital
role you play in helping
to promote British tennis
during this period, and all
year round.
We are also working closely
with the Tennis Foundation
to support their world
class disability tennis
performance programme,
and to promote tennis as a
sport which is inclusive and
accessible to every kind of
individual and community.
I’d like to wish all of our
players the best of luck over
the coming season.
Finally, I’d like to thank our
lead partner, Aegon for their
continued support at all
levels of British tennis, and
to wish you all an enjoyable
grass court season.
Roger Draper,
CEO Lawn Tennis Association
