The NSWIS Tennis Program aims to improve athlete development with a view to prepare nationally identified athletes for national and international success. The program forms part of the National High Performance Academy program.
The NSWIS Tennis Program targets NSW junior (under-18) athletes that meet objective national performance benchmarks through the NHPA selection criteria (although other athletes may be selected at the discretion of the NSWIS Head Coach/National Coach).
The NSWIS Tennis Program is supported by NSW regional underpinning programs coordinated by Tennis NSW.
Wally Masur, NSWIS Tennis Head Coach, is widely regarded as one of the world’s best tennis analysts. As well as being a former Australian Open and US Open semi-finalist, Masur had the honour of representing Australia in the Davis Cup for eight years, notching up a 17-15 win-loss record. After retiring from playing at a professional level his success at the Davis Cup continued at a coaching level, winning the Davis Cup in 2003.
