Since Brooke was 12-years old it has been her dream to compete at Wimbledon. She has already travelled extensively with her tennis and last year attended a tennis camp on the East Coast of the USA in the state of Massachusetts.
Brooke was there for eight weeks where she trained every day, and competed in two six-hour long tournaments. Brooke was able to win both by beating the number one seed in both finals 6:0 6:1 and 6:4 6:4 respectively. Her achievements earned her a sponsorship deal from a company in the US called HEAD who make tennis racquets. She has met many top celebrities overseas including Ken Rosewall, a top Australian tennis player in his time who watched her win the Junior Tennis Tournament against Australia’s top seeded player. Ken went and congratulated Brooke following the win and had a photo taken with her.
Last year Brooke won the trials for girls under 14 to represent New Zealand at the WTA Road to Singapore Future Stars 2015 tournament – another success for Brooke, with many more to come.
