TENNISROVINJ - VRSAR / ISTRIA / CROATIA

Introduction

Tennis infrastructure

The unique combination of sport and tourism offered by Rovinj

and Vrsar starts primarily with the large number of tennis courts.

The beginning of tennis playing in Istria was registered in the 1890s

in Pula. Baron Gottfried Meyern Hohenbergat is considered to be

responsible for the first matches. At the beginning of the 1970s, the

attractive international tennis tournament Istarska rivijera (Istrian

riviera) took place for the first time in Croatia. This tournament is

today listed with the ATP.

Today, this is a destination where amateurs from around the wor-

ld meet and take part in organised tennis schools and famous

tennis camps. They choose Rovinj and Vrsar as attractive locations

offering optimal infrastructure and outstanding accommodation

for enjoying active holidays all year round. However, some of the

most famous names of the tennis world such as oran Ivanišević,

sented their tennis skills in Rovinj and Vrsar over the years.
