“Last year was a memorable season for British wheelchair tennis and, after winning a silver medal in the quad event and bronze medals in the women’s and junior events at the World Team Cup, our players went on to win two medals at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. We have selected our strongest team again this year and we will use the fantastic efforts of the Aegon GB Davis Cup team this weekend as inspiration to challenge for even more medals in Antalya.”
