Philippe Chatrier Award (original) (raw)

The Philippe Chatrier Award is an annual International Tennis Federation (ITF) award. It was introduced in 1996 to recognise individuals or organisations considered to have made outstanding contributions to tennis globally, both on and off the court. The award is the ITF's highest honour and is named after the former French tennis player Philippe Chatrier, who was President of the governing body between 1977-1991. The recipient receives the award at the ITF World Champions' Dinner, which takes place annually in Paris during the French Open.
