Seven lucky tennis fans from schools in Wandsworth and Merton have had the chance to train with some of the country's leading young players at the prestigious All England Club.
The girls aged between eight and 13 travelled to the home of the world's most famous tennis tournament on Tuesday, to practice their skills with top coach Nick Brown from the Lawn Tennis Association.
Some of the youngsters had only taken up the sport recently but, because they showed such promise while training for the Road to Wimbledon initiative, they were invited for extra training.
They even had the chance to meet members of the national girls under-21 squad.
