Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are going for a third successive men's wheelchair doubles title at Wimbledon, with Hewett also aiming to defend his singles title. They have been warming up for the Grand Slam by competing at the Lexus British Open in Roehampton. Two-time Paralympian Louise Hunt Skelley invited us to the tournament to see Hewett and Reid in action, as well as meet the team behind the event including James Ascroft, who is responsible for repairing players' wheelchairs. Hewett called the event the "perfect preparation" for Wimbledon, and we were able to find out why.
