Taylah Preston, a young Perth talent will be taking to court at her home grand slam this summer, after receiving a wildcard to next January’s Australian Open.

The 18-year-old told Mark Foreman on 6PR’s Wide World of Sport she’s can’t wait to get on court this summer but admitted she may be star struck. 

“I think I’m going to be a bit star struck in the locker room if I’m completely honest, I mean some of these players I’ve looked up to for years”, Preston said.
