The Tour Begins!
🎾 A New Era for Blind and low Vision Tennis
The moment the community has been waiting for has arrived. The Takei World Tennis Tour is officially underway—and with it comes a bold new chapter for Blind and Low Vision (BLV) tennis across the globe.
Born from passion, driven by players, and inspired by the pioneering spirit of Miyoshi Takei, the inventor of blind tennis, the Tour is here to unite competitors, elevate standards, and give BLV athletes a global stage worthy of their talent.
🌍 A Tour Built for the Players
The Takei Tour is designed around a simple but powerful philosophy: professional recognition.
Inspired by the structure of professional tennis circuits, the Tour introduces a transparent, consistent ranking system, meaningful competition, and a clear pathway for athletes to progress on the international stage.
Every tournament on the Tour awards ranking points based on performance, creating a dynamic global leaderboard that reflects consistency, dedication, and excellence on court. Rankings operate on a rolling 52-week basis, ensuring a real-time reflection of player performance.
But what truly sets the Takei Tour apart is its foundation as a community-driven circuit relying on mutual collaboration.
Ultimately, the goal is clear: to build a fully professional, globally respected tennis tour for blind and visually impaired athletes.
