Teen’s lucky toss
Talk about the trip of a lifetime! Kilcoy teen Koby Adams couldn’t believe his luck when he was given the opportunity to toss the coin for an Australian Open match between World Number One Novak Djokovic and Australia’s Alexei Popyrin.

And that was just one of the amazing experiences the 13-year-old had during, what he described as, the three best days of his life.
Koby had been one of the lucky winners of an all expenses paid competition through the Deadly Choices program.
With the program promoting healthy choices for First Nations people, Koby met two Deadly Choices ambassadors at the Australian Open: legendary rugby league figure Petero Civoniceva and Olympic volleyballer Taliqua Clancy.
The lucky winners also had a hit of tennis and met tennis legend Evonne Goolagong Cawley.
