A teenager from Chorleywood will have the chance to rub shoulders with tennis superstars at next month’s end of season finale.
Olive Coles, 15, was selected to be one of 30 Barclays Ball Kids at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at the 02. The event starts on Sunday, November 9 and will finish on the Sunday after, wrapping up the 2014 tennis calendar.
Olive said: "This moment will stay with me for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to experience the atmosphere at the O2 and share the moment with my fellow team-mates."
The world’s top eight ranked tennis players come together for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals and so far, world number one, Novak Djokovic and multiple grand-slam champions, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have qualified.
Olive came through "rigorous" regional trials which saw more than 700 children hope to earn their place at the O2 and the group of 30 were selected from the national trials at St George's Park on Saturday, October 4.
