A true legend of Wheelchair Sport!

Today we proudly celebrate David Hall on his induction into the Wheelchair Tennis Hall of Champions.

After a life-changing car accident in 1986, David’s journey into Wheelchair Tennis began with a photo in his local newspaper featuring Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT Life Member Terry Mason. That moment sparked one of the greatest careers in wheelchair tennis history.

Across 20 years, David claimed more than 80 tournament wins and competed in four Paralympic Games, bringing home six medals, including Australia’s first men’s singles gold. He was ranked world No.1 for eight years and won the Australian Open Wheelchair Tennis title nine times, the British Open seven times, the US Open eight times, and the Japan Open eight times.

David also played a pivotal role in growing Wheelchair Tennis in Australia, inspiring generations of athletes to follow.

We celebrate you, David Hall OAM, a champion on and off the court.
