Last night, Tennis NSW hosted the 2025 Tennis NSW Awards ceremony, recognising and celebrating the outstanding contributions of members and stakeholders across the NSW tennis community.
Grand Slam champions Casey Dellacqua and John Fitzgerald co-hosted this special evening, joined by Paralympic legend David Hall as our Guest of Honour. Together, these three tennis greats took part in a live Q&A, reflecting on the 25th anniversary of David’s historic gold medal win at the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. David also shared insights from his newly released autobiography, Superbeast, a raw and inspiring story of resilience, triumph, and life beyond the court.
We also took a moment to celebrate the incredible achievements of our NSW tennis community throughout 2025. From inspiring grassroots moments to outstanding performances on the world stage, this year truly had it all. Watch the 2025 Highlights Video to relive these unforgettable moments.
Congratulations to our 2025 Tennis NSW Award winners!
