The Tennis Federation of Serbia (Serbian: Тениски савез Србије / Teniski savez Srbije) is the governing body of tennis in Serbia.

History

Following the end of the First World War, tennis gained significant popularity in what is now Serbia. 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 the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

The founding assembly was held on August 27 1922 at the Zlatna Kruna tavern in Zagreb. Zagreb was chosen as the headquarters of the then newly established Yugoslav Tennis Association, as it was considered the premier tennis center in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. 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.

After a series of political changes and conflicts, the association’s headquarters were relocated to Belgrade.

In 2013, the Tennis Federation of Serbia published a monograph titled Tenis bez granica, marking the federation’s 90th anniversary. Spanning over 900 pages, it provides an extensive account of the history of tennis in the Balkans.
