The Tennis NSW Awards recognise clubs, organisations and individuals in the New South Wales tennis community. These awards align with the national Newcombe Medal, Australian Tennis Awards. Winners of a Tennis NSW Award, for which there is an equivalent Newcombe Medal, Australian Tennis Awards category, will be the Tennis NSW nominee for that category.
In 2023, the event will be held at The Renaissance, Lidcombe, with all members of the tennis community welcome. The period of time we are recognising at this year’s awards is September 2022 – August 2023.
The Tennis NSW Awards is an important event to recognise the great people in our sport.
