It is the European Para Championships this week in Netherlands - I am not sure if this is a wider multi sports event? The tennis is graded as an ITF Series 2 event and is taking place through Sunday.

In the mens, we have Ben Bartram seeded 4 and Dahnon Ward at 6 - both are starting play in the last 16. They are also seeded 2 in doubles, where they start in the last 8.

In the womens, we have Lucy Shuker seeded 3rd and she is into the last 8. She won her opener yesterday; Cornelia Oosthuisen also played but lost yesterday. As a pair, they are seeded 2nd and into the doubles semis after an initial bye.

The European Para Champs that tennis is in is a multi sport event, sort of like a mini Paralympics but just for Europe.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelchair_tennis_at_the_2023_European_Para_Championships

In terms of tennis , the winners of the various categories (mens, womens, quad singles and doubles) qualify for next summers paralympics in Paris. And get to call themselves European Champion.

A few big names are missing, mainly Alfie and Gordon from GB, but most of the other top European players are in Rotterdam and taking part

Ben Bartram into the mens singles semis, well done to him.

Ben and Dahnon lost their doubles and now play for bronze

Lucy and Cornelia into the ladies doubles final; Lucy lost her singles semi and plays the bronze match there.

Lucy has won Bronze in the women's singles, well done to her. She was seeded 3 as well but it is always good to live up to your seeding. Not sure when the doubles final is for the women, but at least guaranteed silver in that with Cornelia.

Lucy and Cornelia play for gold tomorrow in the womens doubles; Ben lost his mens singles semi and plays for bronze in that.

Good luck to all of them!
