Hellenic Tennis Association

In 2003 a small group of Greek Australian gentlemen who love the game of tennis formed the Hellenic Tennis Association (HTA), an incorporated not for profit sports entity with the intention to promote the game of tennis to players of all levels. The Hellenic Australian Tennis Championships is an annual tournament held in Sydney and is sanctioned by Tennis NSW. The feature event for players with Hellenic heritage, The Mark Philippoussis Cup is named in honour of the Association’s patron. The tournament has over fifteen (15) events and tennis players of all nationalities are invited to compete. The tournament is also supported by the great Pete Sampras.

By our centenary year in 1988, the LTA had developed into a visionary and creative organisation, as well as a sanctioning body, with one its chief aims being to promote tennis at adult, junior and grassroots level.

In 1988 the LTA Trust, later to become the British Tennis Foundation (BTF), was formed as a registered charity responsible for grassroots tennis, schools, development and the training of coaches.

In 1994, the LTA was restructured to streamline its management and three new divisions were created – International Professional Tennis, National Tennis Facilities and National Tennis Development.

The following year, a major five-year National Development Strategy was designed to expand participation and encourage regular competition.
