One of our most talented and durable Seniors, Max Bates,
was chosen by Tennis Queensland as Queensland's Veteran
Tennis Player of the year at their recent Awards night. By
any measure, Max's achievements for 2006 were most
impressive (see below), but for someone who has managed to
compete so successfully at that level on one leg, it is
quite inspirational.
