Welcome to the A-Z listing of Australian tennis players.
While some modern players are listed below, my initial emphasis will be on adding players from the amateur era.
Although some of the data in here comes from other threads (such as Married Names) - and thanks for everyone's contributions - the majority of information here is from my own research.
Where possible, each biography will contain details of birth, death and marriage and a summary of their tennis achievements.
"Italicised quotes" about some players are mainly from Paul Metzler's 1979 book "Great Players of Australian Tennis".
The Australian colony or state(s) which the player represented in their tennis career are also listed:
NSW New South Wales
VIC Victoria
SA South Australia
QLD Queensland
WA Western Australia
TAS Tasmania
ACT Australian Capital Territory
NT Northern Territory
Over time I'll be adding biographical details to each of the profiles (I've only quickly done a few so far) and adding more names that I've overlooked today.
Any questions or corrections are very welcome. Please feel free to post any other information or trivia which could be included within these individual bios.
