The Russian Tennis Federation (Russian: Федерация тенниса России, romanizedFederatsiia tennisa Rossii) is the national governing body for tennis in Russia. It was founded in 1989 as the All-Russia Tennis Association and reorganized under its current name in 2002. 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).
