Tennis Europe app analytics for December 17

Tennis Europe’s mission is to promote and develop the sport within its 50 constituent national tennis associations. As a Regional Association of the ITF, Tennis Europe focuses on junior tennis to provide a pathway for emerging young talents. Each year, up to 20,000 eligible players compete at almost 500 Tennis Europe Junior Tour events held in 48 countries. From entry-level to ‘Super Category’ elite events such as ‘Les Petits As’, ‘Avvenire’ and the European Junior Championships, players compete for ranking points on the ‘Road to Monte-Carlo’ in the hope of qualifying for the season-ending Junior Masters. Team events such as the Winter Cups by Dunlop and Summer Cups provide players with an early taste of international team competitions: a road that for some will eventually lead to playing for their countries at the Davis Cup, Billie Jean King Cup and Olympic Games. Virtually all of today’s top players competed on the Tennis Europe Junior Tour as youngsters, with 13 current and former world #1s – including Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek and Simona Halep - featuring among the list of European Junior Champions. Development and education programs are among the other key activities of the European Tennis Federation, which was established in 1975 and is based in Basel, Switzerland. The Tennis Europe Junior School, launched in 2019, is the only educational programme for young athletes to be endorsed by the ITF and the professional tours, the ATP and WTA.
