00:00...status is John Reinberger.
00:10John has been playing somewhat full of country week for more than 40 years.
00:16Around 20 in New South Wales and around 20 in Victoria.
00:20And at 78 years young, he is still going strong.
00:24Until last year, John was competing in the second highest grade.
00:28He is the organiser of the Marimbula Bunnies, handling everything from entries and accommodation to uniforms and statistics.
00:38Such is his commitment that one year, while his wife was giving birth during country week, John still attended the
00:45full tournament.
00:48Twice I'm told actually.
00:51John lives and breathes tennis, holding committee roles for most of his life and still volunteering at tournaments today.
00:58Fiercely competitive, deeply committed, and endlessly passionate, John epitomises the spirit of country week.
01:06Great tennis, camaraderie, and turning up year after year.
01:10Congratulations, John.
