A Tennis Association is an organization that promotes and governs the sport of tennis within a specific region or country. These associations are responsible for organizing tournaments, setting rules, and developing programs to encourage participation at all levels, from beginners to professionals. They also work to improve the quality of coaching and facilities available to players. Many Tennis Associations are affiliated with international bodies, such as the International Tennis Federation (ITF), which helps coordinate global competitions like the Davis Cup and Fed Cup. They often provide resources for players, coaches, and officials, ensuring the sport's growth and sustainability in their communities.
