Welcome to the IC of Bolivia

La comunidad internacional del tenis celebra la incorporación oficial del International Club (IC) de Bolivia, cuya creación fue aprobada durante la Asamblea General Anual (AGM) del IC celebrada en julio 2025. La noticia marca un hito para el tenis boliviano y posiciona al país dentro de una red global que promueve los valores del deporte y la amistad entre naciones.

Bolivia posee una destacada trayectoria en el tenis que comenzó a principios del siglo XX con la llegada de inmigrantes británicos y estadounidenses que trabajaban en la construcción de ferrocarriles y en la minería. Estas comunidades introdujeron el deporte en los campamentos mineros de Uyuni y Oruro. Posteriormente, el 24 de marzo de 1937, se fundó la Federación Boliviana de Tenis (FBT) en la localidad de Catavi, Potosí, con el objetivo de organizar y promover el tenis en el país. Actualmente, la FBT está afiliada a la Federación Internacional de Tenis (ITF) y a la Confederación Sudamericana de Tenis.

Janine Borotra sadly passes away

Janine Borotra sadly passes away

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Janine Borotra on the 27th November, at the age of 91. Like her late husband, Jean Borotra, she passed away during a Davis Cup weekend, as she was in Lille attending the final between France and Belgium.
 
Janine was extremely dedicated to Jean's memory and was the remaining link in keeping alive his memory and the extraordinary achievements of the Four Musketeers. She particularly remained an extremely active member of the IC of France, attending many IC events and for many years was involved in the ICF Yearbook publication. In fact, as recently as last April, she was still hosting official IC dinners at the Domaine de Pouy, the Borotra’s family house in Arbonne.
 
Her last wish was to lay beside Jean in the Pays Basque, which is where she now rests in peace. We extend our condolences to her family and friends and will ensure the Borotra legacy rightfully and respectfully remains.
