Wangaratta Table Tennis Association junior Sienna Bajada is making waves in the sport after being selected for the 2025 girls under 17 state team.

Sienna and the Victorian contingent will take on the best and brightest young talent in the country at the Table Tennis Australia Nationals, a weeklong tournament being held in Traralgon during the school holidays.

Sienna took up table tennis just three years ago, looking for a change from basketball after regularly supporting other family members who played.

She has been steadily improving since then and now trains at home every day.

To qualify for the Victorian team, she has travelled the state playing tournaments at Geelong, Croydon, Bendigo, Ballarat, Melbourne and Traralgon, in addition to local inter-club activities and the Wangaratta weekly team competition.

Sienna said she is excited to be joining the girls under 17 team and looking forward to the new experience of playing top juniors from the other states.

The Table Tennis Australia Nationals run from Sunday, 6 July to Sunday, 13 July at Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium in Traralgon.
