The launch of the WTA’s new branding, featuring a rebrand and a fresh green logo for the Tour, has started to generate reactions in the tennis world. On Thursday, the WTA unveiled its new logo and colour scheme, accompanied by the slogan "Rally the World."
According to the organisation, the goal is to elevate the WTA’s presence and influence in the world of sports and entertainment. Following significant growth in the 2024 season, the WTA is looking ahead with a fresh identity that has already begun appearing on social media and will be integrated into tournament broadcasts starting next week at Wimbledon.
Several WTA stars took part in the launch campaign, including Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Zheng Qinwen, Mirra Andreeva, and others.
However, one WTA player, former world No. 10 Kristina Mladenovic, voiced her criticism of the new logo on social media. The 31-year-old Frenchwoman, now focused on doubles—where she reached world No. 1 after winning six Grand Slam titles and five other major finals—did not hold back in her comments.
“Wondering how you can come up with this and who approves? Green and white? No tennis details?” Mladenovic wrote on X. “What does it represent? The previous logo was so much better. @WTA.”
Welcome to the new era of the WTA.

A New Identity
WTA Ventures, the commercial division of the WTA, spearheaded this strategy in collaboration with specialists Chapter X and Nomad Studio to increase fan engagement and audience reach for the Tour. The initiative also aims to strengthen the personal branding of players, considering that 11 of the 20 highest-paid female athletes are tennis players. In fact, six of the seven highest-earning female athletes in 2024 compete on the WTA Tour.
In the 2024 season, in-person attendance at Hologic WTA Tour events rose by 15%, the WTA's social media following grew by 25%, and the overall global audience increased by 10%, reaching a record 1.1 billion viewers across television and streaming platforms.
WTA CEO Potia Archer highlighted the importance of continuing to adapt to modern times and further elevating women’s tennis. According to Archer, giving players a voice and bringing their stories closer to the general public will be crucial.
“The WTA has the largest global reach in women’s sport,” she said. “The competitive landscape of sports and entertainment, coupled with the ever-increasing momentum in women’s sport, creates the perfect time to stand tall and take our leadership position alongside our incredible athletes and tournaments.”
“This bold new brand provides a distinct and powerful voice to tell our stories and showcase the WTA as the global sports and entertainment brand where women’s tennis shines. We invite our fans around the world to join us as we rally the world and break even more boundaries in the years to come.”

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
