Mr Hall is a former World Number One tennis player, and ITF World Wheelchair Tennis Champion of 1995, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
The former professional athlete has had a successful sporting career which included 19 Super Series singles titles. The Super Series are equivalent to the able-bodied Grand Slams, and Hall’s title tally is the most recorded by any player on the international tour.
In 2010 Mr Hall was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame and in 2015 the Australian Tennis and International Tennis Halls of Fames.
Narromine Shire Mayor, Cr Craig Davies said it was an honour to have Mr Hall as this year’s ambassador and encouraged the community to attend the celebrations.
