- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the first tennis competitions organized in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, during the 1920s and 1960s. METHODS: The initial time frame of the investigation is justified by the fact that the first tennis championship took place in the state, in 1921 and, in the following decades, the propagation of competitions between clubs from Rio Grande do Sul followed. The final delimitation of the study is the 1960s, when there was an expressive number of tennis competitions and the highlight of tennis players from the state in the Brazilian scenario. The construction of the historical text mobilized the concept of sports memory. Therefore, historical documents were analyzed, such as newspaper reports published in cities in Rio Grande do Sul. Such research materials were treated using the document analysis technique. These documents were compared with studies located through a bibliographic review. RESULTS: The results of the investigation recorded that the 1920s were marked by the regulation of tennis practice in clubs in Rio Grande do Sul, mainly due to the creation of the Gaúcha Tennis Federation in 1929, with the purpose of promoting the sport, in addition to organizing competitions. CONCLUSION: Decades later, with the foundation of the Brazilian Tennis Confederation, in 1955, tennis started to have a centralized administrative structure and there was an increase in the number of competitions held in Rio Grande do Sul.
