Where the Sport Stands.
Since the ITF adopted beach tennis in 2008, it has built the framework of a serious international sport: standardized rules, a world tour, ranking points, and a World Championships. It has also featured in multi-sport events like the World Beach Games.
But Olympic inclusion is a separate, lengthy process, and beach tennis is not on the Olympic programme. Its fast global growth makes it a candidate for the future, but for now it remains an ITF-governed world-tour sport, not an Olympic one.
