The LTA has been the governing body of tennis in Britain since 1888 and our vision is to open tennis up to all different types of people. Tennis is a game for everyone, and when we open tennis up, we open up the ambitions of our people too! We’re innovative, bold, ambitious, and proud of the work we’re doing – you can see it in our teams, who are friendly and made of different energetic voices.
