Jordanne lost her womens singles final but had a good month with a Wimbledon doubles title, runner up in the British Open singles and doubles and semis in the Wimbledon singles.

Gordon Reid took mens doubles at Wimbledon and British Open and was Wimbledon singles runner up.

But Alfie Hewett is a double champion here, beating world number one Kunieda today in singles to add to his British Open doubles and Wimbledon doubles title , 2 titles this week!

the paralympic events are the next big event, running 27th August to 4th September. US Open and USTA Championships follow hard on that.

Paralympics in a weeks time (tennis event) so that should be exciting.

After that the US Open follows closely behind, in second week of the main Slam. The Super Series USTA Champs in St Louis have been cancelled which is sad, Covid reasons.

SO after the US Open , we then have Wheelchair World Team Cup (DC and Fed Cup equivalent) at the end of September, and the Wheelchair Masters (Tour Finals) in early November, in Orlando, which will draw the season to an end at the top level. The Wheelchair Masters may end up in doubt, although with a smaller field it may be it is more manageable
