2022 highlights: Barnett and Olivia Nicholls started the season with back-to-back W60 finals in Andrezieux-Boutheon and then in Grenoble. In March, they reached the final in their first WTA event in Lyon, but once again finished runners-up, this time to Laura Siegemund and Vera Zonareva. After semi-final bouts in Istanbul and Wiesbaden the British pair made yet another final, this time on clay in an ITF event in La Bisbal D’Emporda, which again finished in defeat. They went out in the first round in both Nottingham and Birmingham and will look to bounce back on the grass at SW19.

Good to know: Barnett, known as Lissey, will be making her Grand Slam debut at SW19. Having first started playing tennis aged 7 at Painswick LTC near Stroud, the British women’s doubles No.3 is one of a growing crop of players to have taken a route to the professional ranks via university. The 28 year old graduated from Northwestern University in the States where she was women’s tennis team captain, before returning to be part of the Team Bath setup at the University of Bath. Barnett and Nicholls’ tennis connections go back a long way - both were members of the Great Britain University Tennis Team that won a bronze medal at the BNP Paribas Master’U tournament in 2016, while they won their first doubles title together in 2017 - an ITF $15K in Madrid.

2022 highlights: Dart broke into the WTA top 100 for the first time this year after a career best performance at Indian Wells – battling through qualifiers to eventually reach the fourth round. In April she once again joined up with the British Billie Jean King Cup squad for the qualifying tie against Czech Republic. Dart defeated Linda Fruhvirtova in her second match to force the deciding doubles rubber. She enjoyed a career best start to the grass court season, defeating former champion Donna Vekic and third seed Camila Giorgi to make her first WTA quarter-final at the Rothesay Open Nottingham. In Birmingham, she defeated Camilia Osorio before bowing out to former world No.1 and Wimbledon champion, Simona Halep.

Good to know: Making her tenth appearance in the main draw of a Grand Slam, and her fourth consecutive one at Wimbledon, the LTA Pro-Scholarship Programme player will have her eyes set on progressing through the rounds. The North Londoner, who now trains at the National Tennis Centre and is coached by Nigel Sears as well as the LTA Women’s Performance Team, entertained the home crowd at SW19 with a memorable run to the semi-finals of the mixed doubles with her fellow Brit Jay Clarke in 2018, and then reached the final with Joe Salisbury last year. As a child, Dart was a talented cross-country runner and had to choose between that and tennis. However, despite her first use of a racket being as a pretend guitar, tennis runs in the Dart family, with her parents having met at her home club, Cumberland LTC in Hampstead. Dart is passionate about women and girls in tennis, and recently used her voice to support the LTA’s She Rallies ambition for tennis to lead the way towards becoming a truly gender balanced sport.

Watson opened her grass court season with a straight sets victory over Katie Volynets, but she was defeated in the second round, before pulling out of Birmingham with an injury. In Eastbourne, though she lost out in the opening round of the singles to Rebecca Marino she has reached the quarter-final of the doubles alongside Harriet Dart.

Good to know: Guernsey-born Watson is coached by Alex Ward and trains at the LTA National Tennis Centre in Roehampton and the Bolletieri Academy, Florida. This will be Watson’s 43 singles main draw appearance at a Grand Slam, and her 12^th consecutive one at SW19 since her debut in 2010. A two-time Olympian (London 2012 & Rio 2016), Watson is also a Grand Slam winner, claiming the Wimbledon Mixed Doubles title with Henri Kontinen in 2016.

2022 highlights: Burrage has been a prominent figure at a series of ITF events on British soil this year – as part of the LTA’s Performance Competitions Calendar. She reached the semi-finals at both the W25 Glasgow and Nottingham, as well as a quarter-final appearance in Birmingham earlier in the season. Burrage got through to the doubles semi-finals in Birmingham, Glasgow and at the W60 Koper with Yuriko Miyazaki. Her summer got off to a bang with a semi-final appearance at the W100 event at the Ilkley Trophy, followed by a second round bout at the Rothesay Open Nottingham. More success followed in Ilkley where Burrage reached her maiden W100 final - defeating Arina Rodionova and fellow Brit, Sonay Kartal, before losing out to Dalm Galfi in the final. In Eastbourne she completed back-to-back career best wins against Petra Martic, followed by a stunning win against world No.4 Paula Badosa.

Good to know: Born in Kingston-upon-Thames, Burrage now trains just down the road at the National Tennis Centre and is part of the LTA’s Pro Scholarship Programme - the highest level of support offered to developing players by the LTA. Coached by Craig Veal, she originally got into tennis through her mum Yvonne, who used to play. This will be the 23-year-old’s second Grand Slam main draw appearance, having made her debut at Wimbledon last year, and she will be looking to record her first win. Burrage is now showing form after overcoing injuries, including two ankle operations, and is a big fan of golf having started playing while injured in 2019.

2022 highlights: Grey started this season by reaching the quarter-finals of the W25 Bath tournament where she lost out to fellow Brit, Freya Christie. At the W25 Loughborough, number seven seed Grey was the only Brit to make the quarter-finals of the women’s singles, but lost to the top seed Mariam Bolkvade. Fast forward to the W25 Montemor-O-Novo in May, where Grey defeated Slovak Sofia Milatova 2-6, 6-1, 6-0 to reach the semi-finals before bowing to the eventual champion, Alice Robbe. She lost in the opening round of Surbiton, before also bowing out of qualifiers at the Rothesay Open Nottingham and Rothesay Classic Birmingham.

Good to know: One of seven siblings, Liverpudlian Grey now lives in Buckinghamshire. Known just as Beth, she first started tennis from the age of five, knocking around with her older sisters on the AstroTurf courts at her local club, Bohemians, in Liverpool where her Dad was a member. She now trains at the LTA’s National Tennis Centre and at Halton Tennis Centre and is coached by Mike James. Four months ago, she found her tennis career hanging in the balance after a routine ECG test in February picked up a heart abnormality. Having undergone a cardiac ablation procedure to fix it, she is now looking to secure her first match win at Wimbledon. Off court, the 26-year-old enjoys walking, bike riding and going for brunch with friends. She says she is very creative and loves to draw, paint, read (her favourite author is Haruki Murakami), write poetry and take photographs on her travels.

2022 highlights: Miyazaki’s enjoyed a successful year so far on the ITF Tour – reaching the semi-final of the W60 Pretoria and the quarter-final of the W25 Monastir. Miyazaki also qualified for her only WTA event in Lyon back at the end of May. The 26-year-old has also claimed the W60 Grenoble doubles title with Prarthana Thombare and progressed to the W60 Koper semi-finals with Jodie Burrage. After battling through qualifying, Miyazaki got her first career WTA win at the Rothesay Open Nottingham after defeating Magdalena Frech 6-4, 1-6, 6-1, before losing to eventual champion Beatriz Haddad Maia. She defeated the second seed at the Ilkley Trophy but then lost to fellow Brit Sonay Kartal in a three-set battle.

Good to know: Earlier this year Miyazaki, known as Lily, was formally granted her request to play for Great Britain, where she grew up and which has now been her home for the past 16 years. Born in Tokyo, Miyazaki lived in Japan for the first five years of her life, before moving first to Switzerland and then settling with her parents in London at the age of ten. Up until the age of 18, Miyazaki trained at Sutton Tennis Academy and has been a regular competitor in British domestic competitions, representing her club and her county since the age of 13. She attended Oklahoma University (from 2014-19) in the United States, doing a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and following up with a Masters in Information Technology Management.

2022 highlights: Norrie lifted his third career singles title at Delray Beach earlier this year – beating Reilly Opelka in the final. Norrie’s impressive form saw him also reach the final in Acapulco as well as quarter-finals in Rotterdam, Indian Wells and Barcelona. Norrie reached a new career high ranking of world No.10 – becoming the fourth Brit in the Open Era to break into the top 10. Norrie added another title to his belt at the Lyon Open, where he claimed his first trophy on clay - beating Alex Molcan in the final. The British No.1 opened his grass court season at the cinch Championships with a loss to former champion Grigor Dimitrov.

Good to know: Norrie caught wider attention in the Autumn when he became the first ever Brit to win a men’s singles title at the prestigious Indian Wells event. It was a win that saw him ascend to the British No.1 one spot he has held on to ever since, and the latest high point in a journey that began with him playing tennis with a sawn-off squash racket at the age of eight (both of his parents were squash players). Norrie, who trains at the National Tennis Centre and is coached by Facundo Lugones, is known for his work ethic as was the first graduate of the LTA’s Pro Scholarship Scheme – the highest level of support offered to developing players by LTA and designed to help them become established in the world’s top 100. Off the court, Norrie is an advocate for sustainability, and recently supported the launch of the LTA’s landmark Environmental Sustainability Plan for tennis in Britain.

2022 highlights: Murray has enjoyed several strong results so far this year, playing with a number of different partners. Alongside Bruno Soares, he reached the final of the ATP Rio de Janeiro, losing to Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini in a close deciding match tie-break. Murray has recently enjoyed success at a couple of ATP 1000 events on clay, progressing to the semi-finals in Monte-Carlo (with Rohan Bopanna) and then at the Mutua Madrid Open as well (with Michael Venus). Other highlights of the year so far include a semi-final appearance in Estoril and representing Great Britain at the ATP Cup in January – winning two matches with Dan Evans. After a second round exit in Roland Garros and an opening round loss at the cinch Championships, Murray and Soares will look to bounce back at SW19.

Good to know: Murray began playing tennis at the age of three in Dunblane Sports Club and has gone on to win two doubles and five mixed doubles career Grand Slam titles. He trains at the LTA’s National Tennis Centre and is coached by LTA Senior Performance Advisor Louis Cayer and Alan McDonald.

2022 highlights: Skupski and Dutch partner, Wesley Koolhof, have been the in-form doubles pairing on the ATP Tour this season, collecting four titles already. Despite having only joined forces at the start of the year, Skupski and Koolhof won back-to-back trophies in Melbourne and Adelaide before lifting the title in Doha. The crown jewel of their year so far came at the recent Mutua Madrid Open, where they defeated Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah to be crowned champions at an ATP 1000 event for the first time. At Roland Garros the two made it into the quarter-finals before losing out to Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos. On their first event on grass they captured a fifth title of the season in s’Hertogenbosch - defeating Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell in a match tie-break in the final. Skuspki and Koolhof are currently top of the race to the Nitto ATP Finals later this year.

Good to know: The reigning Wimbledon Mixed Doubles champion after claiming the title alongside the USA’s Desirae Krawczyk last year, Skupski started playing tennis aged three with his father Ken and older brother, Ken Jr. In the men’s doubles, Skupski has previously reached the quarter-finals at all of the Grand Slams, and the semi-finals at the US Open, while he made his Olympic debut for Great Britain in Tokyo last year.

2022 highlights: Reaching the top 200 for the first time this year, Peniston has ended runner-up at two events so far in 2022. Most recently he battled his way to the final of the ATP Challenger in Ostrava, losing to Evan Furness 6-4, 6-7(6), 1-6 in the final. On home soil, Peniston defeated three Brits on his way to the final of the M25 Loughborough, narrowly losing out to Antoine Escoffier. Peniston has enjoyed a breakout season on the grass this year - reaching the quarter-finals at the ATP Challenger events in both Surbiton and Nottingham, claiming scalps over top 100 players such as Adrian Mannarino and Jiri Vesely. The 26-year-old was awarded a wild card to Queen’s and started his campaign with a career best win, taking down the top seed and world No.5 Casper Ruud, before battling his way to eventually finish in the quarter-finals.

Good to know: Peniston will be making his Wimbledon and Grand Slam singles debut this year. He realised a long-held dream to play at SW19 when he made his doubles debut last year, but is searching for his first win on the famous grass courts after bowing out in the first round of both the men’s and mixed doubles. The 26-year-old from Southend, who is coached by Mark Taylor and trains as the LTA’s National Tennis Centre, was making great progress prior to the coronavirus pandemic, having risen 300 places during 2019, having graduated from the University of Memphis. At the age of one, Perniston was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma (a cancerous tumour) but recovered with the help of the doctors and nurses at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London.

2022 highlights: Hewett and Gordon Reid joined forces once again at the Australian Open to claim their ninth consecutive doubles Grand Slam title. The 25-year-old also reached the singles final – narrowly losing out to Shingo Kunieda. Hewett reclaimed his spot as ITF singles world No.1 with titles in Melbourne, Rotterdam and the Cajun Classic. Playing for his country, Hewett helped Great Britain qualify for the World Team Cup finals, where the Brits finished fifth. Hewett and Reid captured yet another Grand Slam title at the French Open with a historic final win in a championship tie-break. The world No.1 went out in the semi-finals of the cinch Championships to Joachim Gerard - but won the men’s doubles title with Stephane Houdet.

Good to know: There are not too many things 24-year-old Hewett has yet to do in tennis but winning the Wimbledon singles title is one of them. He became the youngest ever World No.1 in the sport back in 2018 and returned to that spot earlier this year, but has yet to appear in a singles final at SW19 and so will be aiming change that. If he does win, the Norfolk player will add yet another trophy to his five previous Grand Slam singles titles from Roland Garros and the US Open. That’s not to say Hewett does not know what winning at Wimbledon is like – together with doubles partner and fellow Brit Gordon Reid, Hewett is a four-time Wimbledon winner in the doubles event. The duo have gone on to become Great Britain’s most successful ever Grand Slam doubles partnership, surpassing the long standing record of the Doherty brothers from the early 20th century, and incredibly have won the past 10 Grand Slam men’s doubles titles. Hewett trains at David Lloyd and Easton College in Norwich and is a big Norwich City fan.

Wheelchair men's singles:

Quarter-final: won 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 vs Gordon Reid (GBR), (world No.4)

2022 highlights: This year, Shuker reached her third Australian Open singles semi-final as well as finishing runner-up in the doubles with Yui Kamiji. The British No.1 went on to claim titles in Bolton and at the Georgia Open as she and USA’s Dana Matthewson made an impressive four doubles finals in a row. Winning the singles title in Bolton as well saw Shuker reach a new career high at world No.5. Most recently she led the British women’s team to a sixth place finish at the World Team Cup. Shuker and Mathewson were named runners-up at the Annecy International Open after losing the final to Japanese, South African duo, Yui Kamiji and Kgothatso Montjane 6-1, 6-0.

Good to know: Shuker is one of Great Britain’s most experienced players, and is a five-time Wimbledon doubles finalist and three-time Australian Open doubles finalist. The 42-year-old is one of the world’s leading players and will be hoping this year will see her get her hands on that elusive first Grand Slam title. Having been introduced to the sport by former quad World No.1 Peter Norfolk when buying her first wheelchair, Shuker went on to partner Jordanne Whiley to win Great Britain’s first ever Paralympic medal in women’s wheelchair tennis when they won bronze at London 2012, emulating that feat at Rio 2016 before going one step further in claiming a superb silver at Tokyo 2020. Now based in Hampshire, Shuker trains at the LTA’s National Tennis Centre and West Hants Club and is coached by Taro Keens. She is also one of three Ambassadors for LTA Youth, alongsdie Emma Raducanu and Pau;l Jubb.

2022 highlights: Lapthorne and David Wagner defeated reigning Paralympic and US Open champions Sam Schroder and Niels Vink in a deciding match tie-break to claim their fourth Australian Open doubles title together. He then joined forces with 19-year-old Greg Slade to win the Bolton Indoor ITF 2 quad doubles title and then again with Wagner to be crowned champions at the Cajun Classic. After an early exit at the French Open, Lapthorne took the first title at the maiden quad event at the Rothesay Classic Birmingham.

Good to know: Londoner Lapthorne saw his long-held dream of competing at his home town Grand Slam come true in 2019 when the Quad wheelchair event was added for the first time, following an exhibition doubles match the previous year. Wimbledon is a uniquely special place for Lapthorne, as it was there that his desire to become a tennis player was sparked as a 10 year old – he ended up in a lift alongside Venus and Serena Williams, and after a brief chat and photos he has said that ever since that day he always wanted to play there. Now 31, the intervening years have seen Lapthorne become one of the leading quad wheelchair players in the world, with two Grand Slam singles titles, 13 Grand Slam doubles trophies and two silver and one bronze Paralympic medals to his name. Though that list of success includes the Wimbledon doubles crowns from 2019 and 2021, adding the singles title to that this year would undoubtedly be extra special for him.

Quad singles:

Quarter-final: lost 6-1, 6-3 vs Heath Davidson (AUS), (world No.5)

Quad doubles:

Partner: David Wagner (USA)

Semi-final: won 6-3, 3-4 (RET) vs Koji Sugeno (JPN) & Donald Ramphadi (RSA)
Final: lost 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-3 vs Sam Schroder (NED) & Niels Vink (NED), (seeded 1)
