Now, many WTA players have gone through the same program, especially when they find themselves with some extra time on their hand. Last semester's star pupils included Caroline Wozniacki, Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Andrea Petkovic.

The course requires a full day of classes on campus and then putting in hours remotely with a team of students across the semester.

The WTA also offers players the option to complete their undergraduate studies online at Indiana University East, which many players including Venus Williams, have taken advantage of.
