from Nottingham News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
From ball girl to Paralympic star, Abbie Breakwell is back at Nottingham Tennis Centre — the very place her wheelchair tennis journey began — for a special exhibition match celebrating 50 years of the sport in Britain. Diagnosed with debilitating conditions, she was once the only wheelchair user among the ball crew at the British Open. Now ranked 23rd in the world, she’s reflecting on how tennis gave her community, confidence, and purpose. This match also marks her return to grass courts after a health setback and offers a powerful platform to spotlight disability sport ahead of Wimbledon — her next big goal.
