Geelong wheelchair tennis athlete Martyn Dunn is a finalist for the Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Awards (VDSR Awards). Martyn grew up in Geelong, playing tennis and Aussie Rules on the weekends. In 2015 he acquired incomplete paraplegia in a motorbike accident before a twist of fate saw wheelchair tennis appear in his rehabilitation program. He soon garnered the attention of Tennis Australia’s scouts and joined the national program.
