“1893, Prague witnessed the birth of the first Czech Tennis Club.” You might be wondering why I am spouting years and events. It’s because right here, in front of us, stands the Tenista Statue. This bronze marvel isn’t just art. It’s a tribute to the enduring spirit of Czech tennis! The Tenista Statue, sculpted by Ladislav Janouch, was unveiled in 1986. It’s more than just a statue; it’s a chronicle etched in bronze. Look closely at the inscription! It narrates a saga – the founding of the first Czech Tennis Club in 1893, the rise of organized tennis in 1906, the establishment of the Czech Tennis Association in 1918, and finally, the formation of the Czechoslovak Tennis Association in 1918. This statue, my friends, is a silent testament to the passion and dedication that built Czech tennis.
