Virtus Tennis Bologna

Virtus Tennis Bologna is part of SEF Virtus, one of the city’s oldest sporting institutions, active since 1871. The tennis section was founded in 1925 and quickly became a national reference point, developing a long tradition of competitive excellence and producing players who reached the Davis Cup, Fed Cup, ATP, and WTA levels.
