Well done Ruby Bishop beating USA's Max Wong in the first rubber. I dont know how girls and boys stack up, but beating a boy at world level for Ruby must be a good result!

So the final big event of the Wheelchair Tour season starts this Sunday and finishes on 4th November, in Florida

The NEC Wheelchair Singles Masters and Uniqlo Wheelchair Doubles take place with the top teams in each of mens, womens and quads taking part

www.itftennis.com/en/news-and-media/articles/nec-singles-masters-uniqlo-doubles-masters-set-for-orlando/

The entries seem a bit weaker than they would have liked, probably Covid travel related, leaving Alfie Hewett as the top ranked mens singles player taking part and Alfie and Gordon (as expected) leading the mens doubles.

Last big event of the year and worth keeping an eye on - it will be streamed from centre court each day
