Tennis Australia Limited is the governing body for tennis in Australia. It is owned by Australian states and territories. The association organizes national and international tennis tournaments including the Australian Open, Australian Open Series, Davis Cup, Billie Jean King Cup, ATP Cup, and Australian Pro Tour.[3] In addition, the association takes the responsibility to facilitate tennis at all levels from grassroots to elite development. Tennis Australia's state-based member associates carry out the promotion, management, and development of tennis within Australia. Other than that, it administers amateur tournaments and youth development programs.[4]
Tennis Australia's headquarters is located in Melbourne, Australia. It administers tennis projects throughout Australia, employing around 716 full-time staff.[5] The association generates income from selling tournament tickets, TV rights, and through sponsorship from companies.[3]
The organization was formulated and incorporated in 1904. In 1904, it operated as the Lawn Tennis Association of Australasia. However, the name was changed to the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia in 1906. Finally, in 1986, the name was changed to Tennis Australia (TA).[6]
