Warren Maher (born 15 January 1957) is a former professional tennis player from Australia.[1] After leaving the professional tour, Warren was appointed Head Coach for Donvale Tennis Club (Donvale TC) in his native Melbourne in 1983. In the decade following, he discovered and coached a number of highly talented and successful junior players. Warren played No. 1 and captained Donvale's "A" grade state pennant team (now known as "State Grade") which won a number of titles. Team members included Noel Phillips, Ian Russell, Ron Woodbridge, Dean Ashton, Graeme Harris.

After a successful decade with Donvale TC, Warren and wife Kerry formed a business and took-over coaching and management of a large council-owned tennis facility known as Camberwell Tennis Centre (now Booroondara).

gollark: Oh, never mind, this graph is of APPLICATIONS per year, I may still be right.

gollark: Ah.

gollark: But Turkey having 5x more with ~1.2x the population is implausible.

gollark: Oh, I was wrong (not even within an order of magnitude): it is in fact 0.5 million people a year here who go to university.

gollark: So... every year, 3% of your population sits university exams? That seems... kind of high.
