| David Hall(born 1970) is a world champion wheelchair tennis player who has been referred to as Australia’s greatest ever wheelchair tennis player. For David, it all began sometime after his injury (double leg amputee) at age 16 when he was looking through the local paper and saw a picture of a man in a wheelchair playing tennis. Inspired, Hall began to play and entered his first wheelchair tennis competition, the 'Albury-Wodonga Classic', in 1988. This led to him competing in his first Australian Open in February 1989. Playing in the C division, Hall won. The following year, Hall participated in his first international competition and turned professional in 1993. 1995 saw Hall relocate to the United States. The year culminated with Hall winning the US Open Singles title and being ranked number one in the world. Read on to share more of David's journey and experiences...

| You've heard it before: "The first few years of my disability were so scary I did very little and ran away from everything." You know the feeling: the trauma of sudden disability that drops on you like an anvil. But these words come from a man who went on to be selected six times to the U.S. Wheelchair Basketball Team, win 10 U.S. Open Wheelchair Tennis titles and three medals in three different Paralympic sports, something no Olympian has ever done before or since. This man also won the Jack Gerhardt Award (equivalent to the Heisman Trophy for wheelers), was inducted into the Wheelchair Sports Hall of Fame and was Speaker of the Year for Toastmasters. Yes, Toastmasters--you've got to hang up the old jock strap sometime, even if you're Randy Snow." |
