Paralympic champions Peter Norfolk and Robin Ammerlaan lead
Paralympic champions Peter Norfolk and Robin Ammerlaan are leading an impressive field at the Nottingham Indoor Wheelchair Tennis Tournament, beginning on Thursday.
Peter Norfolk, who won quad singles gold for the UK at the 2004 Paralympics, is heading back to Nottingham in defence of his title, whilst Dutch world number two Robin Ammerlaan makes his tournament debut as top seed in the main draw and is joined by local favourite Jayant Mistry with Lucy Shuker leading the British chances in the women's singles.
Eighty players from 11 nations are competing in the final British-based world-ranking event of the 2006 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour, which closes on Sunday.
Peter Norfolk, who won Britain's first Paralympic tennis gold in Athens two years ago, is one of five top-10 quad players in action in Nottingham and he is joined by Italian duo Giuseppe Polidori and Antonio Raffaele, Monique de Beer of the Netherlands and Shraga Weinberg of Israel.
