Yes, thanks Indy - I hadnt seen that. He does look like he has a great future ahead of him; hopefully he will continue to make an impact at juniors for a year or two before moving to play senior events. The junior number one, Jin Woodman, is a bit older but is playing quad events now and was in the quad French open. Not sure of nature of Matts condition and whether he has mens or quad ahead of him, but Im sure he will make a mark.

Note - nominated for our player of the month!

The Wimbledon entry list and wildcards are confirmed:

Womens singles - Lucy Shuker has a wildcard, one more to be awarded

Mens singles - Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are in directly, Ben Bartram and Andrew Penney have wildcards

Quad singles - Andy Lapthorne is in directly, Greg Slade has a wildcard

So 7 players in singles. The singles players also make up the doubles pairs, so will all play in that event as well

Eastbourne is next week and the British Open at Roehampton the week after, so we will see most of these players in one or both of them

The Eastbourne Open starts today, which is a WC500 event, with 8 player draws in singles and 4 pairs in doubles

Mens - Gordon Reid is top seed and Ben Bartram also plays

Womens - Lucy Shuker is in this (7 player field)

Quad - Andy Lapthorne, Greg Slade and Oliver Cox go in this

For anyone at Eastbourne this week, might be fun to take a look, and support our players!

Fabulous win for Ben Bartram today over
Japanese, Miki. Ben plays Gordon Reid in the final, so a British winner guaranteed.

Andy L and Greg S are in the quad doubles final.
