As part of the Australian Open, tennis young guns were given the opportunity to play on the court before the round four match between Eugenie Bouchard and Irina-Camelia Begu.
Tennis Australia club professional coach Stephen Storer said the 20 minute session gave the children a chance to feel what it would like to play on Rod Laver Arena.
As part of their Australian Open experience, the young guns were also given day passes to the tournament.
Players that took part included; Jordan Baker, Jess Baker, Rylee Hitchins, Amy O'Bryen, Milana Freer, Jorja Reed, Ellianna Langan, Georgia Piotrowski, Emma Piotrowski and Tully Lang.
Storer said if anyone wanted to be a part of the ANZ Hot Shot program a new semester would begin on Monday.
Lessons will be held at the Bendigo Tennis Complex.
