The Russian Tennis Federation (Russian: Федерация тенниса России) is the national governing body for tennis in Russia. It was founded in 1989 as the All-Russian Tennis Association and reorganized under its current name in 2002.[1] The federation serves as the successor to the Tennis Federation of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) (1959-1989) and the Tennis Federation of the Soviet Union (1959-93), which was previously known as the All-Union Tennis Section (1929-1959).
