Original 9

The Original 9 were a group of nine women's professional tennis players who broke away from the governing bodies of tennis in 1970 to launch their own professional tour, the Virginia Slims Circuit, which later evolved into the modern WTA Tour.

The Original 9 were inducted as a group into the International Tennis Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2021.
