Billy Monger And LTA Launch Wheelchair Tennis Series

The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) – with the support of The National Lottery – has released the first episode of a new four-part docuseries produced by UK-based production agency Whisper, featuring professional racing driver and Paralympics presenter, Billy Monger, as he explores the world of professional wheelchair tennis.

The series – with a new episode released each week this September across the LTA’s digital channels – documents Billy’s introduction to wheelchair tennis at the British Open Wheelchair Tennis Championships, following him from his first time in a chair, through to joining players from the LTA London Wheelchair Local Tennis League, before taking on his first competitive match.

Coached and mentored by elite British players and LTA coaches, Billy showcases The National Lottery-funded LTA Wheelchair Tennis Performance Pathway, as he meets a host of individuals involved on their own journey with the sport, whilst on his way to his final wheelchair tennis challenge.

Cain Berry, Performance Lead, LTA Wheelchair Performance Pathway: “It’s thanks to players of The National Lottery that we have the support to facilitate incredible opportunities to bring even more people in from the very grassroots level of the sport of Wheelchair Tennis, right the way through to competing at the top of their game on the international stage – from the Grand Slams to the Paralympics.

“This new series with Billy gives a glimpse into that world, introduces a host of characters behind all the hard work and hopefully inspires even more of the next generation to give the sport a go, and get involved.”
