Photos and Highlights How tennis can be a champion for diversity and inclusion "I didn’t know about wheelchair tennis before my accident. In fact, I’d never heard of wheelchair sport. But after having a hit, tennis felt like a long-lost friend who’d come back to me. 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 met. Tennis fueled the fire inside me and with that fire, I marched on for the next 15 years, cultivating a career out of my dream to win a gold medal for Australia.” David Hall, OAM - former World No.1, Paralympic Gold Medallist and six-time ITF Wheelchair Tennis World Champion REGISTER TO ATTEND To help us with catering for the big day, please let us know you’re coming and if you’re bringing friends and family.

- RETURN SERVE | Collaroy Tennis Club
SUNDAY | 12 APRIL 2026 PRESENTED BY Celebrating service, sport and community Collaroy Tennis Club , together with our event partner, RSL LifeCare - Northern Beaches Veteran Wellbeing Centre , is proud to host Return Serve. This free event in the lead up to ANZAC Day, shows our gratitude to all those who have served or are currently serving in the Australian Defence Force, as well as their families, for everything they’ve given to protect our freedoms. We see Return Serve as one small step in helping veterans to connect and thrive in their local community, using our wonderful sport as a catalyst for wellbeing and social connection. The event is proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with Dee Why RSL Sub-Branch. OUR CHANCE TO RETURN SERVE This event was inspired specifically by one of our own, much-loved Club members, who himself is a Veteran , having served in Vietnam. It’s wonderful to see him enjoying the sport he loves in a warm, welcoming and friendly environment. We genuinely appreciate the service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families and decided we could use tennis to ‘return serve’ to some small extent. So as ANZAC Day approaches, show your support and respect by joining in some fun family activities, playing FREE friendly Social Tennis, or just by coming along!

The war was raging in Vietnam and in 1971, Bob was called up for National Service with the Australian Army. “The call up was very hard for me to digest”, says Bob. “I had just been offered a professional contract with World Championship Tennis and was playing Davis Cup overseas. Three days after winning all three matches I played in that Davis Cup Tie, I was ready to tour the world for the next six months. Then a telegram arrived. ‘Please return to Australia immediately for 2 years of National Service’. After dreaming and training for years to be a professional, to be honest, the news was devastating. 55 years ago… doesn't seem possible. However, as a result of that National Service, to this day I have the utmost respect for our Military and all our Veterans.” After two years of National Service, Bob returned to professional tennis, achieving a career-high ranking of World No. 16. Bob still serves the community as Northern Beaches Councillor for Narrabeen Ward. He has been awarded the Australian Defence Medal, the Australian Sports Medal and the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM). Bob will be present at Collaroy Tennis Club for Return Serve on April 12.
