João Lucas Reis da Silva makes history as the first openly gay man to compete in a Grand Slam #NOH8

A fab night at #CTC for our third (and biggest yet with 18 players!) #RallyAllies event tonight. Loads of great set play was accompanied by good discussions around being allies, naming LGBTQ+ figures in tennis and sharing ideas for us to be an even more inclusive club. 🎾🌈🎉😁🤝

Grass, mastered. 🏆 Iga Swiatek is Poland's first Wimbledon singles champion 🇵🇱

Ladies & Gentlemen Wimbledon Mens Doubles Champions Lloyd Glasspool 🇬🇧 & Julian Cash 🇬🇧 Love it!

What a Wimbledon for Mimi Xu! She bows out in the semi-finals, but not before making a name for herself at this year’s Wimbledon. In a 2.5+ hour battle in scorching conditions, Mimi was defeated by American Julieta Pareja. Congratulations on an incredible Wimbledon.
