It is the dream of every young tennis player to play on these great stages.
However at Wimbledon it is easier for men than women to realise that dream. In 2015, almost two-thirds of court assignments across Centre Court and No.1 Court went to men's matches.
We the undersigned call upon the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club to join Roland Garros, the U.S. Open and the Australian Open and ensure that every player has an opportunity to play its most prestigious courts on the basis of merit, and that the equal dreams of all players are reflected in an equal number of court assignments to male and female players on these courts.

Its 2016 for crying out loud. Why are we still acting like women playing tennis is less important than the men. Give them the same court time. Embarrassing.
