Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week:

Blind Tennis!

Ahead of this weekend’s inaugural Australian Blind & Low Vision Tennis Championships in Melbourne Sam and Matthew head to The Somerton Park Tennis Club in Adelaide where Tennis Australia Accessibility Coach Nick Bradley is running a training session.

We speak to two of the players participating in this weekend’s tournament: Tim Haggis and Courtney Lewis.

Sam has his first go at blind tennis, taking on sixteen year old young gun Max Oliver.
