Tennis Player Demographics in the United States White is the most frequent ethnicity among tennis players, accounting for 81.2 percent of all tennis players. In comparison, 8.9 percent of the population is Hispanic or Latino, and 6.8 percent is black or African American. The next most common race category is Asian, which accounts for 7.3 percent of all tennis players. There are also small numbers of players of Native American, Pacific Islander, and other races each accounting for less than 1 percent of the total. When it comes to gender, women make up about 75 percent of the tennis player population. Men account for the remaining quarter of the population. In addition to white Americans being the majority race group, they're also predominantly found on both the men's and women's tours. However many non-white races are included in the tennis player pool. Specifically, Hispanics or Latinos are the most common non-white race group on the tour, making up 18 percent of the population. Then there are blacks or African Americans at 6 percent, Asians at 4 percent, and others including mixed race people and indigenous Americans at 1 percent each. Overall, whites are by far the most common race category on the tour but this percentage goes down when you include blacks or African Americans. They make up a third of all players but account for half of all losses on the tour.
