The Series 1 Georgia Open in Rome starts today- the wheelchair equivalent of the sunshine swing.

www.itftennis.com/en/tournament/georgia-open/usa/2023/wc-itf1s-usa-01a-2023/

A strong mens draw has Alfie as top seed, Gordon as 7th and also Ben Bartram

Womens draw has Lucy and Cornelia in it

Quads has Greg Slade as our only entrant.

Sadly Alfie and Gordon keep ending close to each other in the draws recently, it would be good to see them opposite halves!

mens singles has 20 players, womens 14 and quads 15.

Lucy winning is a welcome return to winning in a big event. Not singles but welcome news for her.

All the other Brits move on to the Super Series Cajun Classic next week in Lafayette . Alfie has the small matter of the mens singles final to play here in Rome, Ga., tomorrow.

Gordon won his singles quarterfinal with another seeding upset, 2 in one event. Into the semis.

This week he isnt due to play Alfie until a possible final. Fingers crossed

As well as Gordon in singles , we have Alfie and Gordon, Lucy Shuker and Andy Lapthorne in their respective doubles semifinals.

None are seeded to win titles so anything we pick up would be a bonus this week. But Gordon, so far, is the star of the week.
