Together, we're empowering a new vision of tennis  -

The Billie Jean King Cup is the largest annual team competition in women's sports. The event—one of the few in tennis that allows coaching between games—is tapping into technology to empower players and help them take the game to the next level. Voiced by Billie Jean King, this campaign brought Microsoft's technology to life through a hero spot that speaks to what it means to be a visionary in the world of tennis.

Changing the game —

A more robust experience was developed to be featured as part of Microsoft's new digital hub, "Unlocked." Here fans and users could learn more about Microsoft's technology and the continued legacy of Billie Jean King challenging the game's traditions.
