Australian Tennis Hall of Fame
Bronze busts honouring Australian tennis players
Summary
Bronze busts honouring Australian tennis players
The Australian Tennis Hall of Fame was established in 1993 by Tennis Australia under the leadership of then-president Geoff Pollard. Described by Tennis Australia as "one of the highest honours Australian tennis players can receive", inductees are recognised by the production of a bronze bust by local sculptor Barbara McLean, that is later displayed in Garden Square at Melbourne Park.
The two inaugural inductees were Rod Laver and Margaret Court, recognised in a 1993 ceremony. As of 2024, there are 47 individuals inducted. Inductions take place at the Rod Laver Arena; they are celebrated at a Hall of Fame Ball, which takes place each year on the eve of the Australian Open men's singles final.
