Andy Murray and Davis Cup heroes visit Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre

Story 02/12/2015

Andy Murray and his triumphant Great Britain Davis Cup teammates visited Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre this week ahead of the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters event.

Murray and the team met British wheelchair players Lucy Shuker, Andy Lapthorne, Jordanne Whiley and Gordon Reid, all of whom have qualified for the elite season-ending wheelchair tennis tournament. The NEC Wheelchair Masters begins today (Wednesday) and runs through until Sunday. 

Andy Murray said: 

"The level of wheelchair tennis is fantastic. I speak to a lot of the wheelchair players in the locker room. When I lost early at the US Open this year I watched Gordon Reid play there and the level is very, very high from what I've seen. Great Britain are very good at it as well. We've got some fantastic wheelchair players."

British wheelchair tennis player Gordon Reid said:

"To see players from your country achieving success at any level is always inspiring. I'm actually going to claim credit for their win because we won the wheelchair version of the Davis Cup this year so I think they were inspired by us!"
