Two-time British Open champion and Paris Paralympic singles silver medallist Hewett reached the Lexus British Open Roehampton men’s singles final in 2024 before going on to win his maiden Wimbledon singles title to complete the career Grand Slam the following week.
"Last year was a brilliant experience getting to play the Lexus British Open Roehampton on the grass," Hewett said. "It’s becoming one of the stand out events in the wheelchair tennis calendar and is really enhancing our grass court season – fans can get up close to the action, see the biggest stars in the game and experience live tennis in a wonderfully unique location for our sport.
"Winning the Wimbledon singles title for the first time last season was something I still pinch myself about and having that extra experience on the grass at Roehampton definitely stood me in good stead for achieving that dream. I’m excited to see the fans turn out for this years exciting edition."
British No.2 Reid also enjoyed a memorable grass court season in 2024, during which he passed the landmark of 100 career doubles titles partnered and Hewett to a sixth Wimbledon doubles title and the Paris 2024 Paralympic doubles gold medal to become the first men’s wheelchair doubles pairing to complete the career Golden Slam.
"I've been coming to the British Open since I was a teenager and it’s one of the highlights of the year," Reid added. "This year Alfie and I have our eyes set on reclaiming the doubles title whilst competing for the singles title too!.
"I love playing in front of home fans – these events an amazing opportunity for us to showcase the sport and hopefully we can inspire more people to get involved."
British No.1 Shuker reached her first British Open women’s singles final in 2022 while winning the first grass court title of her career in the women’s doubles at Eastbourne last summer.
A nine-time Grand Slam doubles finalist, Shuker was one of two flagbearers for ParalympicsGB at Paris 2024 and is far approaching the landmark of 90 career doubles titles.
"The Lexus British Open Roehampton is always one of the standout events on the calendar and feels especially meaningful for us British players," said Shuker.
"Having another event in the UK during the summer grass court season is fantastic – there's something special about competing at home, with the support of the home crowd. I’m really looking forward to getting back out there and challenging for more titles on grass again."
Winning the singles title back in 2022 is one of my favourite memories on a tennis court and I love coming back to the Lexus British Open Roehampton each year.
Lapthorne, winner of the British Open quad singles title in 2022, won his fourth Paralympic medal at Paris 2024 after partnering Greg Slade to win the quad doubles silver medal before extending his tally of Grand Slam titles to 18 when winning the quad doubles at January’s Australian Open.
"Winning the singles title back in 2022 is one of my favourite memories on a tennis court and I love coming back to the Lexus British Open Roehampton each year," Lapthorne commented.
"Getting to compete against some of the best players in the world, on home soil, back on the grass – it doesn’t get much better than that."
Wheelchair tennis will also be returning to Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park – where Hewett and Reid also tasted success in 2024 – as part of the Lexus Eastbourne Open, with an ITF1 series event taking place as part of the UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Tour featuring men’s, women’s and quad draws.

At the HSBC Championships at the Queen’s Club, a wheelchair tennis exhibition will feature for the second year running, taking place on 21 - 22 June. The HSBC Championships is the biggest tennis event in Britain outside of Wimbledon, which this year also sees women’s tennis return to the site for the first time in over 50 years.
