article: Wheelchair tennis, whose national governing body is the Tennis Foundation, doubled its target at the Games, winning six medals in total, including a gold in the men's singles. And six months on, the players continue to have success after success and the sport continues to grow and get more exposure on the world stage. Quad doubles world number one Andy Lapthorne said: "We've made massive strides since I first started and we're breaking glass ceilings. "Once people see it they love it, and they see tennis - it's just tennis. "I keep telling everyone this is the fastest-growing disability sport in the world and if any young kid wants to play a disability sport and be treated the same as an able-bodied athlete, in my mind there's only one sport and it's wheelchair tennis.

Gordon Reid came home from Rio with a gold medal in singles and a silver medal in doubles, which he won with partner Alfie Hewett. He also won four Grand Slam titles last year and ended 2016 as men's wheelchair singles world number one. And already in 2017 he has celebrated defending his singles titles in Rotterdam and is excited for the rest of the year to come, where he will be looking to defend his French Open doubles crown and both his singles and doubles titles at Wimbledon.

"We train just as hard as able-bodied athletes, five or six days a week with on-court tennis sessions and off court we start working in the gym." Gordon also plays wheelchair basketball to help with his movement around the court, something he says his coach Karen Ross originally didn't "enjoy one bit". "It is quite a high-contact sport, even though it's a non-contact sport," said Gordon "But it's five or six years that I've played with no injuries apart from the odd ripped-off nail now and and again so I think she's a little bit more relaxed about the whole thing now." Back in 2014, British number one Jordanne Whiley became the first - and currently the only British player in the able-bodied or wheelchair game - to achieve a calendar Grand Slam, lifting the doubles titles in all four majors in the same year, with partner Yui Kamiji. She said: "I didn't actually start out the year to do the calendar Grand Slam - it just sort of happened. "Yui is like my best friend. We first
