- The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) is the national governing body of tennis in Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. As the governing body, the LTA is responsible for the coaching and development of junior players, offering courses and qualifications on coaching, as well as the organisation and administration of the senior game. Through working with the different groups involved such as clubs, coaches, parents and players the LTA aims to grow the base of the sport and get more people involved in tennis. It organises coaching and tournaments for junior players, as well as senior events throughout the UK. The LTA is predominantly dependent on the Wimbledon Championships for its income. Over half of the governing body's funds come from the championships, which gives all its profits to the LTA. It also receives a multi-million pound grant from UK Sport, and has various commercial sponsors. The organisation is regularly strongly criticised by the media, politicians, people in British tennis who are not on its payroll, and foreign tennis stars such as Pat Cash and Martina Navratilova over its poor track record of producing top quality players. Before 1985 the LTA was run by an amateur committee. In that year it appointed its first professional chief executive, with a remit to improve the standard of British tennis. Since that time, it has been through several chief executives, each of whom has changed the top team, and relaunched the coaching programme, in each case to date without any significant success. Tim Henman, Greg Rusedski, and Andy Murray are the only British men who have been ranked inside the top 50 in the past twenty years, and of those, only Henman was brought through the LTA junior set-up (and he came from a tennis family that organised much of his development themselves), with Rusedski learning his tennis in Canada, and Murray moving to Barcelona at the age of 15 to train at the Sánchez-Casal Academy in Barcelona. A parliamentary All-Party Tennis Group was highly critical of the LTA, stating that 'given the remarkable level of expenditure, in excess of £60m annually, it should be possible to deliver better outcomes than at present'. Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong are the only British women to make the top fifty in recent years, but neither has made the top forty, and the latter has been publicly critical of the LTA's role in her development.
- La Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) est la fédération de tennis de Grande-Bretagne, des îles Anglo-Normandes et de l'île de Man. Elle a été créée le 26 janvier 1888. Les revenus de la LTA proviennent majoritairement du tournoi de Wimbledon.
- Brittiska tennisförbundet (British Lawn Tennis Association), med huvudkontor i Roehampton, London, England, bildades 1888. Organisationens förste president var William Renshaw. Tanken med organisationen var att främja intresset för den nya sporten tennis och verka för bildandet av tennisklubbar inom Storbritannien och Irland. En av den nybildade organisationens första uppgifter var att ta över ansvaret för administrationen av Wimbledonmästerskapen från All England Club som kvarstod som organisatör. Detta samarbete kring Wimbledonmästerskapen fortgår ännu i dag.
