The ITF is proud to mark the 50th anniversary of wheelchair tennis this year, celebrating five decades since Brad Parks founded the sport in California, USA, in 1976. To recognise the milestone, the ITF has launched the Wheelchair Tennis Hall of Champions - celebrating players, coaches and contributors who have played a pivotal role in the growth of the sport.
The first group of inductees (below) feature those Australians who have made significant contributions to the wheelchair game at an international and domestic level, alongside some of the sport’s biggest global names previously inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITHF). More inductees will be announced throughout 2026, and annually thereafter.
