Tennis in Russia

Tennis is considered one of the famous sports in eastern Europe. Each region birthing excellent players that left an ever-lasting print with their rich careers, one of which is Russia.

History

Tennis is introduced to Russia

Arthur Davydovich McPherson or Macpherson (1870–1919), 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.[2]

After his father's death in 1919, 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.[3] 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[lower-alpha 1] (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][6]

Under the USSR

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.[7] In addition, local men's tennis players were seriously bullied by the other Soviet sportspeople for competing in a 'girlie' sport.[8][9][10] At a certain point, about 80 percent of tennis coaches in the USSR were women.[11]

Usually, when under the Soviets, all the undisputedly negative things in the USSR (famine, corruption, nepotism, poverty, etc.) were criticised 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 leaving any Russia-related narrative (meaning the ex-USSR) than in the 1990s.[12][13]

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.[14] 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.[15] 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.[16]

Notes

Ex-Countess and Nikolai Martynov's granddaughter, she could escape the USSR after the imprisonment only thanks to the AFSC's help with her Bryn Mawr College enrollment (aka Nadia Danilevsky).[4][5]
The flag of the Unified Team at the Olympics in 1992 was the Rings (from left to right, blue, yellow, black, green and red): despite the popular belief, it is wrong to imply that each of the colours corresponds to a certain continent. 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. See also the Russian Empire at the Olympics.

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"
