The top 32 boys and top 32 girls entered into the MCC will be accepted into the qualifying event, with the winners contesting the major tournament.
"It's amazing for us in NSW to have a tournament of this level and for two players to qualify for Wimbledon, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity," Tennis NSW head of operations and pathways Jaslyn Hewitt-Shehadie enthused.
"The All-England Tennis Club is looking to promote grasscourt tennis and we have that really strong grasscourt swing in Albury-Wodonga and Shepparton."
