The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has released a statement announcing a significant increase in investment in the ITF World Tennis Tour for 2025, the stepping stone to professional tennis. The highlight is the news for the women's circuit, which will see several significant improvements aiming at achieving crucial gender parity, thereby reducing the wage gap with the men's circuit. Among the enhancements is mandatory hospitality at W100, W50, and W75 events, providing substantial assistance towards the accommodation costs faced by players. Additionally, the "prize money" for W75 events will increase from distributing $60,000 to $70,000. Hence, the ITF will offer a record-breaking $35.3 million in prize money, representing a 20% increase from 2024.
