Transgender women will be banned from playing in the female category in most domestic tennis competitions in Britain from next month.
Current Lawn Tennis Association rules allow players to self identify but, from January 25, 2025, trans women and non-binary individuals assigned male at birth will only be allowed to compete in the male category in Specified competitions.
The LTA does not have jurisdiction over international events such as Wimbledon or ATP, WTA or International Tennis Federation tournaments, so this policy will only apply to domestic tennis.
