A friendship forged on the tennis court | Australian Story (2021 Archives)

??Louise Pleming was an international tennis commentator. Brian Turton was a rough sleeper. The two were an unlikely match, but when they met they instantly connected.
The impact of their friendship became the catalyst for Louise’s Rally4Ever — an Australian community tennis program to help with loneliness, mental health and wellbeing.
#OnThisDay in 2021 Australian Story shared how a serve of kindness changed both Brian and Louise’s lives.
We're sharing moments like this to celebrate 30 years of the ABC program in 2026.
