I'd rather say tennis isn't that poular in eastern Europe.

Tennis is not very popular anywhere. If we use the number of top players each region has as proxy for how popular tennis is relatively, then it's not doing that bad in eastern Europe.

At least in Western Germany, there has been a tennis boom in the 1980s and 90s when Boris Becker and Steffi Graf were active and successful. Thus, you can still see the inner German border between GDR and FRG on the map.
