Dorset wheelchair tennis champion Lucy Shuker has retired from the sport after a 24-year professional career.
Her final match took place at the 2026 Wheelchair Tennis Finals in Barcelona, where she and partner Ksenia Chasteau were defeated by Dutch duo Diede de Groot and Aniek Van Koot.
Ms Shuker leaves the sport as a three-time Paralympic medallist, nine-time Grand Slam finalist, seven-time World Team Cup medallist, and winner of 100 career doubles titles.
Scott Lloyd, chief executive of the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), said: "On behalf of the LTA and British tennis fans, I would like to congratulate Lucy on her fantastic career and thank her for the contribution she has made to Wheelchair Tennis both on and off the court.

"To compete at the highest level of the game for over 20 years is a remarkable achievement and testament to her dedication and professionalism.
"She has been, and will continue to be, a passionate advocate for the development of the sport, and we look forward to working with her to continue to grow the game for future generations."
Earlier this year, Ms Shuker announced her intention to retire at the end of the 2026 season, with 98 doubles titles already to her name at the time.
