Oliver Fanshawe is an inspirational young tennis player.  

Oliver is legally blind with no vision in one eye and only cloudy vision in the other, however this doesn’t stop the five year old from playing the sport he loves best.

Believing he can achieve anything, little Oliver improvises on court by listening for the ball’s bounce to hit.

Oliver is coached at Brookfield Tennis Club by Greg Braun.

When asked about coaching Oliver, Greg said “it is the highlight of my week.”

“It really is a great thrill for me.”
