´It was the strongest para tournament to date and we have six players on the podium and 5 of them have won gold. I am so proud of them and personally, a massive thank you to our sports psychologist, Sally McGinn. The team have come so far with your help and I can see all of it out on the court, ´jubilated Team GB´s Head Coach, Richard Morris.
