Loughborough Wheelchair Tennis Open 2014

Wheelchair Tennis is a growth sport in the UK and the first annual Loughborough Wheelchair Tennis Open tournament will be part of the official Tennis Foundation Wheelchair Tennis Development Series 2014 featuring potential Paralympians of the future, and some past ones offering their support over the weekend too. 

The event will be running Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th February at Loughborough University's Dan Maskell Tennis Centre with play scheduled from 9am-5pm each day. The tournament organiser is GB Paralympic Tennis Coach Martyn Whait and it will be refereed by Patrick Smith with a great team of ball kids from Loughborough Lawn Tennis Club helping keep the days running smoothly.

Spectators are welcome and entry is free! 

The hope is that this will become an incredibly popular fixture on the calendar for years to come, bringing yet more quality tennis to Loughborough to add to the already growing number of events to spectate at and hopefully it'll inspire a new generation of wheelchair players to pick up rackets too.
