Henry Michael is a Rivervale local who started collecting tennis racquets and memorabilia in 1985, the same year he won his first Australian tennis title 🎾

Since then, his collection has grown into something amazing – a home museum that celebrates the sport. We were lucky enough to catch up with Henry for a guided tour.

"My family immigrated to Australia shortly after the war. In Australia, I got into footy and tennis when I was 12."

As a competitor and team captain, Henry has done a lot of globetrotting, which has given him the opportunity to collect all over the world 🌏

"I started collecting in 1985. I went to op shops and antique stores looking for racquets and memorabilia. Word soon got round from there and I started receiving donations."

Looking around his museum, you'll see more than a treasure trove of memorabilia – you'll see photos and news articles of his contributions to tennis, evidence of a life dedicated to community sport.

And at 81, there's no sign of him stopping. In fact, you'll still find him on the courts at the Belmont Tennis Club several times a week, ready to serve 🙌
