Hollie remained undefeated at the Super 10`s tennis trials in Canberra, which were played over the last two weekends.
Coach James Poso said this will mark the third year in a row the Merimbula Tennis Club will have representation in the event.
Two years ago Hollie`s brother Logan played and last year Maka Ofati also played and had a memorable moment tossing the coin in the Federer-Djokovic semi - final.
The event is played in the second week of the Australian Open and players get to mix with the professionals in a great event.
Thomas Miller, Paige Poso, Orlando Papalia and Luka Cowles also trialled.
“All the kids gave it their all and I was really pleased with their improvement,” Poso said. “Hollie’s greatest attributes are her steely determination and calmness when others are losing theirs.”
