Annual Awards

 

Each year awards are presented to the Australian Tennis Seniors Player of the Year (the Beneficial Finance Perpetual Trophy) and to the Australian Tennis Seniors Administrator of the Year (the Beryl & Don Kerr Trophy).  Prior to 1995 there was just the single award for the Australian Tennis Senior of the Year (called Veteran of the Year in those days as the term Veteran was not changed to Senior until 2005). In 2013 a new Award was created for the Player Recognition Award for the Most Improved or Come Back Player of the Year.
