Tanai will be spending her 11th birthday on the court competing in the U13s against Australia’s top players.
Working towards becoming the best squash player she can be, Tanai hopes to one day represent Australian on the world circuit, alongside a career in hairdressing.
Giving her a helping hand to get there is local business Drifta Camping, who when they heard of Tanai’s achievement in squash raised almost $520 towards her costs.
Tanai said she is excited by the support and looks forward to purchasing a pair of high quality squash shoes she has had her eye on, as well putting some by for her trip expenses and a few lollies to keep her energy levels up.
