Adams is the former President and CEO of the United States Tennis Association—the first black woman, first former player and youngest person ever to hold the position. Adams served an unprecedented two consecutive terms as USTA Chairman and President, serving the board between 2005 and 2020.

As a professional tennis player, Adams competed for 12 years on the WTA Tour, winning 20 career doubles titles and reaching a career high of World Number 8.

She has been named on Adweek magazine’s “Most Powerful Women in Sports” list twice (2016 and 2017), Forbes magazine’s “Most Powerful Women in Sports” list in 2017 and Ebony magazine’s “Power 100” list.

She is Vice President of the International Tennis Federation, Chair of the Billie Jean King Cup Committee, Chair of the Gender Equality in Tennis Committee and the Executive Director of the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program.

She has recently published her maiden novel “Own the Arena”, which is available and out now.
