Tennis Europe

Summary

Tennis Europe (formerly known as the European Tennis Association)[1] was formed in Rome, Italy on 31 May 1975 by a group of 17 European national tennis federations as a regional governing body for the sport of tennis and under the auspices of the International Tennis Federation.[2] It is the world's largest regional association of the sport's governing body, the International Tennis Federation, with 50 member states in 2015.[3][4]

Based in Basel, Switzerland, the organisation takes an active role in all aspects of the European game, executing tasks delegated by the ITF, and also by organizing a number of competitions and events independently from the ITF, such as European Tennis Championships.[2]

Francesco Ricci Bitti was President of Tennis Europe from 1993 to 1999.[5]

Ivo Kaderka was elected as President until 2024 at elections in September 2021.[6] The Chief Executive Officer is Thomas Hammerl.[7]

In reaction to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Tennis Europe suspended from membership both the Russian Tennis Federation and the Belarus Tennis Federation.[8][9] Teams representing Russia and Belarus were therefore ineligible to compete at all Tennis Europe events (including Winter & Summer Cups, European Beach Tennis, and Senior Club Championships).[9] All Tennis Europe events in Russia and Belarus were suspended, including the European Junior Tennis Championships (16 & Under) in Moscow, and delegates from both countries were not eligible to attend the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Tennis Europe.[9]
