A BROMSGROVE teenager has won the chance to play at Wimbledon after competing in a regional tennis tournament.
Oliwia Sztorc, aged 14 fought off competition from other Herefordshire and Worcestershire youngsters to bag herself a place at the National Finals.
The competition, Play Your Way to Wimbledon, powered by Vodafone, saw players aged 14 and under battle it out at Manor Park tennis Club in Malvern.
The event at the club was one of over 2000 across 716 venues nationwide delivering around 15,000 opportunities for amateur players to compete.
Oliver Scadgell, participation director at the LTA said: “Play Your Way to Wimbledon, powered by Vodafone is a wonderful initiative to encourage participation in tennis, and it was fantastic seeing so many young players taking part from Herefordshire and Worcestershire again.
“We’re thrilled to continue our goal of growing tennis at the grassroots level and get more people involved than ever before.”
