A double win in Bolton

It was great to get back on court this week at the USN Bolton Arena Indoor Championships.   It was so good to see that the popularity of wheelchair tennis is growing with the large numbers of girls that entered too. 

I'm really happy at coming away from the tournament winning both the Singles and Doubles titles. it's my first singles title of the year and just showing the results of all the hard work and training I've been doing to improve my singles game. 

I wouldn't be able to train and compete the way I do without some really great support, and I wanted to say a massive thank you to my team at Tennis Foundation, Living Tennis, 17 Sports Management and my sponsors, The National Lottery/UK Sport, Babolat, Adidas, RGK Wheelchairs, First Avenue Estates and KT Tape UK, all of whom help make my success possible.

Raising the profile

Well, since getting back from Australia, I don't seem to have stopped and there's been plenty of media interest in what I've achieved. It's all been really great and is helping to raise the profile of the sport, and me of course!

I really enjoyed taking part in the BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Panel with Eleanor Oldroyd recently, it was great to be able to discuss all sorts of sporting issues openly in this format with people from different sporting backgrounds.

Yesterday I had a lot of fun filming at the BBC for A Question of Sport. I was on Matt Dawson's team, but as the programme hasn't been broadcast yet, I can't tell you the result! Keep an eye on my Twitter and Facebook as I'll let you know the date it's due for broadcasting.
