Tennis in Russia
![]() | This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. (January 2024) |
Tennis is considered one of the most popular sports in Eastern Europe. The rich careers of excellent players from every region have left an everlasting impression, and Russia is no exception. The main Russian National Tennis Centre (established in September 2009 in Moscow) is named after Juan Antonio Samaranch.

Arthur Davydovich McPherson or Macpherson (1870–1920), a native of St. Petersburg, was the founder and president of the first All-Russian Union of Lawn Tennis Clubs, the forerunner of today's Russian Tennis Federation.[1] In 1903 he organized the first St. Petersburg tennis championship, and four years later he set up the first national tournament. By 1913, the Russian championship was on the international tour and the game was thriving. McPherson also helped establish the country's first Olympic Committee. Following the 1917 Revolutions, two in a year — February and October — he was imprisoned and died from typhus in one of Moscow prisons.[2] [3]
After his father's death in January 1920, Arthur Macpherson Jr. (1896—1976, Russian: Артур Артурович Макферсон) could reach his career-best quarterfinals at the 1920 Wimbledon Championships, his first GS event and also the first GS event for any Russia-related or ex-Russian tennis player.[4] While the generation of Russian, Russia-related and ex-Russian tennis pioneers, e. g. Mikhail Sumarokov-Elston (1893—1970) or his mixed doubles partner Nadezhda Martynova-Danilevskaya[a] (1887—1969) were still alive and active, mostly in the immigration (including the ex-Russian Embassy from the Chatham House building, London), none of the other local sportspeople could think about being welcomed by the international sport community.[1][7]
Under the USSR[edit]
During the Soviet era, tennis was on the edge of survival due to its lack of appearance in the Olympic games, cost, and strong association with the Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov royal dynasty. From 1974 to 1984, Soviet tennis players had been forced by the Tennis Federation of the USSR to boycott all the international competitions, except for the Davis Cup, in an unsuccessful attempt of the regime to influence apartheid in South Africa.[8] In addition, local men's tennis players were seriously bullied by the other Soviet sportspeople for competing in a 'girlie' sport.[9][10][11] At a certain point, about 80 percent of tennis coaches in the USSR were women.[12]
In 1976, The New York Times reported that there were no tennis clubs in the USSR.[13]
Usually, when under the Soviets, all the undisputedly negative things in the USSR (famine, corruption, nepotism, poverty, etc.) had been criticized domestically as the "leftovers from the Tsarist regime" (Russian: пережитки царского режима). Internationally, the term "regime" (Russian: режим, meaning strongly associated with imprisonment for all the people of Russia being in opposition to the chairperson) has never been closer to be excluded from any Russia-related narrative (meaning the ex-USSR) than in the "wild 1990s ".[14][15]

Men's & women's singles: locals' clay-and-grass ATP / WTA Tour-level titles proportion (from Jul 1995 to Jun 2024)
Since the end of the Soviet era, tennis has grown in popularity and Russia has produced many famous tennis players. In recent years, the number of top Russian women players has been considerable, with both Maria Sharapova and Dinara Safina reaching number one in the WTA rankings. Other Russian women to achieve international success include Anna Chakvetadze, Elena Dementieva, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Anastasia Myskina, Nadia Petrova, Vera Zvonareva and Anna Kournikova. The Russian Federation has won the Fed Cup 4 times, in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Russia swept the women's tennis podium with Elena Dementieva winning the gold, Dinara Safina and Vera Zvonareva the silver and bronze, respectively. As of 5 October 2009, four Russian women were ranked in the WTA tour's top 10.
Russia also boasts three former number 1 men's players—Safina's older brother Marat Safin, Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Daniil Medvedev. Russian men currently in the top 10 include Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev, the former of whom was a finalist at the 2019 US Open, 2021 Australian Open, 2022 Australian Open. He won the 2021 US Open.[16] Medvedev had briefly reached the number 1 ranking in February 2022, before being overtaken by Novak Djokovic. He reclaimed his first spot again in June 2022.[17] Medvedev was the first player to reach number 1 without being a member of the 'Big Four'; Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Rafael Nadal, since February 2004.[18]

- Top-10 of the most domestically popular inactive tennis players with their reticular formation (in addition to their native Russian and — the official language of ATP & WTA Tours — English)
-
Near-native English-speaking player and former WTA No. 8 Anna Kournikova and (born 1981, on the same day as Ekaterina Makarova in 1988) playing in Sydney in 2002, her last full season before retirement due to injury. Her best result at a GS event was reaching the semifinals stage.
-
Former WTA No. 3 Nadia Petrova playing at the 2006 French Open, GS on clay where she could reach her career-best semifinals
-
Spanish-speaking player and former ATP No. 1 Marat Safin training in 2008
-
Spanish-speaking player and former WTA No. 1 Dinara Safina (Marat Safin's younger sister) training in 2008
-
German-speaking player and former ATP No. 3 Nikolay Davydenko at the 2009 French Open (aka Roland Garros). He was close to reaching the GS final on clay in 2005 but was defeated by Mariano Puerta in the semifinals.
-
French-speaking player and former WTA No. 3 Elena Dementieva hitting backhand at the 2009 French Open. Despite her serve, she's generally considered the best Russian women's player to never win a GS title.
-
Spanish-speaking player and former WTA No. 2 Svetlana Kuznetsova hitting forehand at Sanchez-Casal Academy in 2009, one month before winning her second GS title in singles — this time at the 2009 French Open
-
Near-native English-speaking player and former ATP No. 20 Dmitry Tursunov playing on grass in 2011 (Queen's Club, London). Despite his career-best fourth round result at GS, he has managed to become a pretty successful coach on the WTA Tour (among others, helping Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka in the beginning of her professional career).
-
Near-native English-speaking player and former WTA No. 1 Maria Sharapova playing at the 2012 Olympics (she could win a silver medal on grass in women's singles — losing the gold medal match to American Serena Williams — 20 years after Andrei Cherkasov's bronze medal on clay for the Unified Team at the 1992 Olympics)
-
Former WTA No. 2 Anastasia Myskina playing in 2005 (despite her 2004 French Open singles title she's also well-known among the local glory-hunters for her infamous loss in the semifinals to Belgian Justine Henin at the 2004 Olympics)

When Pierre de Coubertin created the Rings in 1913, the five colours combined with the white background represented the colours of the flags of all participating nations at that time, without exception: Sweden's blue and yellow, Greece's blue and white, Spain's yellow and red, Japan's white and red, Tricolour nations (France, UK, USA, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Hungary), as well as the newer flags of Brazil and Australia.

Already in 1923, Edwin clearly saw what policy the Soviet authorities were pursuing in relation to the [Russian Orthodox] church. He writes in his diary that the authorities do not see the use of the church, and are doing everything they can to get rid of it: they are confiscating church valuables and imposing taxes. He offers the following explanation for such actions: "They want to destroy the church, since it was an instrument of oppression and a stronghold of reaction. But such a policy seems short-sighted to me; there is nothing constructive in it. They're forcing all public schools to teach atheism"
