The event
The Newcombe Medal, Australian Tennis Awards celebrate and recognise the performances, achievements and contributions made by members of the tennis family each year.

About the awards
A new nomination process for the Newcombe Medal, Australian Tennis Awards was introduced in 2016.
All state and territory award winners will automatically be nominated for their equivalent national award. The selection panels will choose the finalists for each award category from these nominees.
This process is designed to encourage the top candidates in each state and territory to put themselves forward for their Member Association awards, and will ensure representatives from across the national tennis community are recognised as Australian Tennis Awards winners.
