Neale Fraser and The Australian Davis Cup Tennis Foundation
The Australian Davis Cup Tennis Foundation was established in 1971, with the principal aim to promote the sport’s development through the funding of young players who showed Davis Cup potential. The foundation assisted this by either direct player or team assistance, or by providing financial support for selected player development programs conducted by Tennis Australia.
The foundation was also founded with the aim of recognising and honouring both past and present players who represented Australia as part of the Davis Cup competition.
Since it was formed, the foundation has provided more than $2.2 million towards various programs. All these funds have been raised primarily though membership subscriptions and various other fundraising activities.
Neale Fraser was a founding member of the foundation and for 48 of the 51 years of its existence, he has held the position of either president or vice-president. In September 2022, Neale announced he would be retiring from the board but fortunately for the foundation he will remain as the patron.
Neale’s contribution to the foundation and his tireless advocacy and work on its behalf has been the cornerstone of its success. Not only has he contributed his business acumen but also his strong links with the International Tennis Federation, Tennis Australia and players who have represented our country.
On behalf of all the foundation members, we thank Neale for his magnificent contribution to the foundation, to the Davis Cup competition and to tennis in general
