ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour 2026


In the British Open doubles finals involving Brits, Alfie and Gordon won the title, but it was tight, 11-9 in an MTB. But well done to them and they will go into Wimbledon with confidence as top seeds

In the quad doubles, Andy and Greg were hammered and won just one game. They will also be in the Wimbledon field.

The draws are out for the wheelchair events at Wimbledon, as follows:

Ladies - singles

Cornelia Oosthuizen plays French Chasteau, who did so well at the FO.

Lucy Shuker plays Chinese third seed, Li.

It will be tough for both of them but, should they spring surprises, they will meet in the QF round

Ladies - doubles

Lucy partners South African, Montjane and they play Chasteau and Griffioen (NL)

Cornelia partners Bernal and they play 2nd seeded Li and Wang of China

Mens - singles

Gordon Reid has drawn top seeded Japanese, Oda. Ouch

Ben Bartram plays another Japanese, Miki. Ben beat Miki at Eastbourne just the other week and so will be confident he can replicate that.

Andrew Penney plays Ter Hofte from the NL

Alfie Hewett, seeded 2, plays Egberink of the NL

Mens - doubles

Alfie and Gordon play Egberink and Ter Hofte

Ben partners singles opponent, Miki, and they play Houdet and Ji. Should they win, they will play Alfie and Gordon in the semis

Andrew plays with Israeli, Lysov, against Oda and Fernandez

Quad - singles

Greg Slade plays top seeded Dutch player, Vink

Andy plays Argentine, Lazarte

Quad - doubles

Andy and Greg partner each other and play Schroder (NL) and Woodman (AUS), the second seeds

Looking at the draws, hope to see opening wins for Alfie and Andy L in singles, with Ben and Andrew Penney having a chance of an upset.

In doubles, Alfie/Gordon will win, and Lucy + and Ben + could both get wins.

Rest look hard!! Very hard!
