The National Tournament for players with a Visual Impairment, organised by the Tennis Foundation, was held on 15th & 16th October at the National Tennis Centre.
Three players who train with Glasgow Disability Tennis competed – Sam Howie, Laura Grant & Andrea Logan.
Results:
- Sam competed in the B2 singles winning 2 of his 3 matches and he won the consolation event. In the doubles he won 1 of 2 matches.
- Laura competed in the B1 singles (mixed) winning 1 of her 3 matches.
