Four of Britain's top wheelchair tennis players showcased their skills as they put on a demonstration at Great Britain's Davis Cup tie at Braehead Arena.

The players - Gordon Reid, Marc McCarroll, David Phillipson and Kevin Simpson - were in action before Britain's doubles rubber against the Slovak Republic.

Scottish duo Reid and Simpson joined forces to take on their English counterparts McCarroll and Phillipson in a ten-minute timed session which saw England come out on top 11-9.

British No.1 and world No.13 Reid said: "It was an amazing experience to play in front of my home crowd and there was a really good atmosphere. If the Paralympic Games are anything like this, then no other country has a hope against the Brits!"

Team Leader for British Wheelchair Tennis at the 2012 Paralympic Games, Paul Regan, added: "In the middle of a very busy training and tournament programme, it was great for some of our best players to come and show the Glasgow crowd just what an entertaining sport wheelchair tennis is.

"Wheelchair tennis tickets have already sold out at London 2012, which means there will be huge crowds cheering the players on at their purpose-built venue Eton Manor."

British players are currently competing on the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour for the chance to represent their country at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, which get underway in 200 days time.

With wheelchair tennis now one of the fastest growing wheelchair sports in the world, Great Britain will have up to 11 players competing at the Games across three divisions; men's, women's, and quad, which is for players with a disability in three or more limbs.

Wheelchair tennis integrates very easily with the able-bodied game since it can be played on any regular tennis court, with no modifications to rackets or balls. Players are allowed two bounces of the ball and can play against able-bodied friends or family using one bounce.
