Tennis appeared in Saudi Arabia in 1966 as part of the activities of the Saudi Tennis and Table Tennis Federation, and the official launch of it was in 1975 through the establishment of three championships during the board of directors led by Mr. Sulaiman bin Abdulrahman Al Juban. In 1991, a decision was issued by the Royal President of Youth Welfare to restructure the board of directors of the Saudi Tennis and Table Tennis Federation with HRH Prince Khaled bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz as its president. Then, a decision was issued by His Royal Highness the President of Youth Welfare to separate tennis as its own independent federation. This was led by Mr. Abdulaziz bin Saad Al Kreidis in order to take on the responsibility of organizing and promoting the sport.
