We are delighted to be assisting the International Tennis Federation (ITF) by operating and administering an ad hoc Independent Tribunal during the 2021 Billie Jean King Cup by BNP Paribas and the 2021 Davis Cup by Rakuten finals respectively.

Chief Executive, Richard Harry said: “We are delighted to be assisting the ITF at their premier international team competitions in women’s and men’s tennis, the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The independence of our panels and procedures ensures the integrity of any required process, delivered by our carefully selected arbitrators with the support of the wider Sport Resolutions team. SR’s highly efficient and expedited process provides for the quick resolution of matters that may have a bearing on the remainder of the tournaments.”
