David Robert Hall, OAM[1] (born 14 January 1970) is an Australian former professional wheelchair tennis player.
After a long period of rehabilitation, Hall began working as a clerk at the local police station.
It was around this time that Hall was looking through the local paper and saw a picture of Terry Mason in a wheelchair playing tennis.
Inspired, Hall began to play and entered his first wheelchair tennis competition, the 'Albury-Wodonga Classic', in 1988.
It began to open doors I never knew existed, sending me places I'd never been and giving me chances to meet people I'd never had met.
The year culminated with Hall winning the US Open Singles title and being ranked number one in the world.
He won Paralympic gold, silver and bronze medals and 18 Super Series titles.
