Tennis demands confidence and self-belief to reach peak performance. The Positive Court Pledge acknowledges the need for a more open conversation to reduce stigma around struggles with mental health.

I pledge to make tennis safer and healthier for everyone, and to promote mental wellbeing and resilience.

Words matter, so I pledge to use them to inspire, support, respect and encourage tennis athletes.

I pledge to respect the rules of tennis, and be considerate to officials, organizers, and volunteers.

I pledge to model good conduct and character on and off the court to distinguish tennis as a sport that welcomes everyone.

For the love of tennis, sign the Pledge now!
