It is with profound sadness that IBTA shares the news of Jim Currie’s passing. A former B2 blind tennis world champion, and inspiration to many, Jim leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of resilience, passion, and unwavering dedication to the sport he loved.
Though his sight was limited, his vision for what tennis—and life—could be was boundless. He showed the world that barriers are only as real as we allow them to be, and his impact will continue to resonate far beyond the court.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Rest in peace, Jim. Your spirit will forever serve.
