Ava was a special guest at Wimbledon!

A little girl who is receiving rehabilitation at The Children’s Trust for a brain injury has had a memorable day at Wimbledon where she met tennis ace, Roger Federer.

Ava Mear had VIP treatment during the day out at the tournament on 4 July. Not only did the five-year-old play tennis on the courts, she had lunch in the players’ dining room, met players, watched them practise and chatted to everyone in the referee’s office.

Ava, who was joined by her mum, Mary-Jane was also presented with souvenir picture badges.

The day out was arranged by Andrea Jaeger, a former tennis pro who visited The Children’s Trust to give some sessions this month. After meeting Ava during her visit she got in contact to invite her to Wimbledon.
