The Centenary Wall was opened by Her Excellency, Frances Adams, Governor of South Australia on the 9th of October 2021, after a short welcome from the MDTC President Sue Biggs, and a speech from Geoffrey Reed.

The opening day, coincided with the opening of the grass courts for the season and the media were invited to cover an exhibition match played in traditional clothing, reflecting tennis in 1921.

Tricia Rabbitt, Danielle Stringer, Akshay Chawla and John Freeman gave an excellent display. Later, our oldest member, the much loved and respected Henry Young, demonstrated his remarkable tennis skills at 98. He revealed to us all his positive thinking and determination and later provided the wise words, “ to lead a long active life, you need to play tennis!”
