The nation’s Most Outstanding Event will be named at the upcoming 2023 Australian Tennis Awards.

This annually presented award recognises competitive events across Australia that offer the highest standards in player experience. This ranges from providing on and off-court activities and amenities, as well as promoting a positive tournament atmosphere and encouraging community involvement.

The 2023 finalists are:

2023 Queensland Head State Age (Qld): Held at the Rockhampton Regional Tennis Centre and Yeppoon Tennis Club, this annual four-day junior tournament experienced a 25 per cent increase in participants at their September 2023 edition. A busy social schedule helped to keep competitors and their guardians actively engaged.

Seacliff Tennis Club – February JDS (SA): With 157 entries from players aged 18 and below, this was the Adelaide-based club’s biggest-ever junior competition. A total of 228 matches were played across the one-day event, with many participants competing in their first tournament.
