The Victorian Community Champion Awards were presented to recognise some very special efforts by two incredible volunteers in our tennis family each year. The two awards are for one recipient in Metropolitan Melbourne and one recipient from Country Victoria. The Awards, given between 2014 and 2020 were presented at the Australian Open each January.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
