32 players from across the six regional areas took part in a Super 10s event alongside the 2020 State Foundation Cup. Teams were named after Australian tennis players and consisted of four players from different regions, with a mix of boys and girls.

Day one saw players enjoy a training session in perfect conditions, focusing on consistency and doubles.

The teams played three rounds of matches on day two with excellent play, teamwork, fun and improvement from match to match. All matches were extremely close with players showing exceptional sportsmanship.

Day two also included a dress up round where players dressed up as tennis legends and a project round which showed fantastic effort and creativity as players brought in their artwork based around their team namesakes (Bolt, Saville, de Minaur, Kyrgios, Barty, Tomljanovic, Sharma and Stosur).

After a fantastic four days, Team Tomljanovic was announced as the winning team, with Team Bolt a close second. An additional eight players also received awards for their sportsmanship, teamwork and focus on improvement.
