TheTennis Federation of Serbia (Serbian:Тениски савез Србије /Teniski savez Srbije) is thegoverning body of tennis in Serbia.[1]
Following the end ofthe First World War, tennis gained significant popularity in what is nowSerbia. This surge in interest led to the formation of a central governing body intended to unify all clubs and sections, as well as to organize tournaments and competitions throughout theKingdom of Yugoslavia.
The founding assembly was held on August 27, 1922, at the Zlatna Kruna tavern inZagreb. Zagreb was chosen as the headquarters of the then newly establishedYugoslav Tennis Association, as it was considered the premier tennis center in theKingdom of Yugoslavia.[2] Eight clubs attended the assembly. The association was tasked with ensuring the proper application of tennis rules in national competitions, cooperating with foreign associations, forming a national team, and deciding on all key matters related to this sport. Hinko Würth served as the association's first president.[2]
After a series of political changes and conflicts, the association's headquarters were relocated toBelgrade.[2]
In 2013, the Tennis Federation of Serbia published a monograph titledTenis bez granica, marking the federation's 90th anniversary. Spanning over 900 pages, it provides an extensive account of the history of tennis in theBalkans.[3]
Throughout its history, the Tennis Federation of Serbia has been led by 24 different presidents.[4]
