Virginia Slims Circuit
The Virginia Slims Circuit was a tennis tour consisting of a group of originally nine female professional players. Formed in 1970, the Virginia Slims Circuit eventually became the basis for the later named WTA Tour. The players, dubbed the ''Original 9'', rebelled against the United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) due to the wide inequality between the amount of prize money paid to male tennis players and to female tennis players.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=King, original 9 reunite to honor women’s tennis )
==Background==

After the International Lawn Tennis Federation approved open tournaments in 1968, male and female tennis players were treated very differently in terms of the prize money they received. At the first Open Era tennis tournament, the 1968 British Hardcourt Championships held in Bournemouth, men's singles champion Ken Rosewall earned US$2,400 while the most successful professional woman received only $720 (the champion that year, Virginia Wade, was an amateur at the time of the tournament and could only accept $120 in expenses). The situation was very similar at the Grand Slam tournaments. For example at the 1968 Wimbledon Championships, the second Grand Slam event of the open era, Rod Laver, the men's singles champion, received US$4,800 for winning while Billie Jean King, the women's singles champion, received just US$1,800.
The situation came to a head in 1970, when most tournaments offered four times as much prize money to men than they did to women. At the 1970 Italian Open, men's singles champion Ilie Năstase was paid US$3,500 while women's singles champion King received just US$600. On top of this, the USLTA failed to organise any tournaments for women in 1970.
