The LTA are celebrating how tennis has always been ahead of the game on International Women's Day.

The Lawn Tennis Association are linking with Girlguiding to train young female leaders to engage more girls in tennis.

The project will see Rangers trained to deliver tennis sessions as part of their drive to inspire more women and girls to get involved in tennis.

Judy Murray, Annabel Croft and Great Britain's Fed Cup captain Anne Keothavong are just some of the voices behind the story of women's tennis, which has been breaking down barriers since the late 1800s.
