The Australian Tennis Hall of Fame was established in 1993 by Tennis Australia under the leadership of then-president Geoff Pollard.
[1] Described by Tennis Australia as "one of the highest honours Australian tennis players can receive",[2] inductees are recognised by the production of a bronze bust by local sculptor Barbara McLean,[1] that is later displayed in Garden Square at Melbourne Park.
[2] 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;[2] 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.
