original story at Cambridge news

The spirit of Wimbledon carried on in Cambridge this weekend after a special tennis tournament for blind and visually impaired players served up a treat.

Thirty-two participants from as far afield as Newcastle, Brighton, Manchester and London came to Cambridge to test their skills.

Editor Update: Metro had 10 players the Cambridge tournament. Odette Battarel and Amanda Green got 2nd place in the ladies doubles and Odette also got 2nd place in the ladies singles.

Players from Cambridge were also among the big winners during the event at the Hills Road sports centre, taking a number of runners-up and winners medals across the different categories.

But the Vision4Growth charity’s tennis tournament was also marked by a spirit of camaraderie as well as competition, said Fiona Musgrove, one of the tournament’s organisers.

She listed a number of different groups who had lent their support: including representatives from the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust, Tennis for Cambridgeshire and the Tennis Foundation who were all in attendance.

Sir Geoffrey Cass, president of the Tennis Foundation and former LTA president, was present and said it was the first time he had seen a game of blind tennis.

Volunteers from the Cambridge Volunteer Centre, Hills Road Sixth Form and Anglia Ruskin all ensured the games ran smoothly, while there was also a variety of refreshments on offer, with the local branches of Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Subway all donating food for the occasion.
