WEARNE, Pam

Tennis SA is deeply saddened by the passing of Tennis SA Legend Pam Wearne.

Pam's contribution to tennis spanned decades, with an extraordinary playing career that established her as one of South Australia's finest competitors and a deserving member of the Tennis SA Legends Club, in which she was inducted to at the 2024 Tennis SA Awards.

After relocating to Adelaide in 1966, Pam continued to build on an already distinguished career. She captured three City of Adelaide Singles titles, won the South Australian Hardcourt Singles Championship, and proudly represented Australia in the Over 50s Maria Bueno Cup in Austria. Her consistency and excellence saw her maintain a place among South Australia's top ten ranked women from 1966 to 1979, while also earning the prestigious Boyce Medal on two occasions.

Pam will be remembered not only for her exceptional achievements on the court, but also for the lasting impact she made on tennis in South Australia. Tennis SA extends its heartfelt condolences to Pam's family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
