Gordon Reid, Jordanne Whiley & Lucy Shuker on wheelchair tennis
Wimbledon men’s wheelchair singles finalist Gordon Reid says the thing he loves most about tennis is the “one-on-one battle”.
“It’s just you against the other person on the other side of the net – and it’s up to you to find a way to beat them,” said the Scot.
Reid and fellow Britons Jordanne Whiley and Lucy Shuker have all benefited from the Tennis Foundation’s performance programme.
