The enclosed ground with first-class courts is well illuminated and provides for high comfort of game irrespective of weather. In winter the courts are heated, in summer they are protected from heat or bad weather. Heating and ventilation systems meet international standards.

The players do not feel discomfort due to surplus atmospheric pressure playing at these courts round the year.

The prototype of the present-day tennis is the ball game which was available in the XIII-XIVth centuries in Italy, England and France. The players passed the ball over a stretched rope. Rackets appeared two centuries later, in the XVIth century.

Modern tennis began to develop in 1873 in Great Britain. The inventor of the game is considered to be the officer of the Britain Army Walter Wingfield, who published the rules of this game in 1874.

The first tennis tournament was held in 1877 in Wimbledon (England). Later on it became traditional and at present it is still the greatest tournament in the world.

In 1913 ITF was founded. In 1998 the Federation united 190 national federations.
