The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) is the national governing body of tennis in Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Founded in 1888, the LTA promotes all levels of lawn tennis. It believes that tennis can provide "physical, social and mental rewards both on and off the court."

During the 1980s and 1990s, a number of initiatives were launched in a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
