Why this petition matters

Started by FM Tennis

Thousands of tournament participants around the world each year receive an outdated trophy that demonstrates inefficient serve technique. This "trophy position" has perpetuated the misconception that this is the ideal serving technique, when in fact, it is quite poor—everything from the lack of body rotation, angle of the racquet face, and grip placement are biomechanically inefficient. 

With your help, we can redesign the trophy in the likeness of the game's most prominent ambassador—Roger Federer. Federer's serve technique is both elegant and efficient.

As a tennis teaching organization, this mission is important to us, as we're always trying to find new ways to help all players achieve their true potential.

Thank you for your help!
