Andy Lapthorne helped Great Britain claim gold for the fourth time in the quad event at the BNP Paribas World Team Cup on Saturday.

The Eastcote star and world number three teamed up with Jamie Burdekin and Antony Cotterill to defeat reigning champions USA 2-1 in the final in Holland.

Things did not start well for Lapthorne, who renewed his old rivalry with David Wagner, bit the world number one came out on top 6-1, 6-0.

That had left the tie at 1-1 with Beijing Paralympic medallist Burdekin giving his team a winning start, getting the better of world number nine Nick Taylor 6-0, 6-1.

It meant the tie went into a deciding doubles match where Burdekin and Lapthorne made a fantastic start against Wagner and Taylor, taking the first set 6-1.

But the Americans showed their strength to come back and clinch the second 6-2 to force a match tie-break.

After a tense affair and some crucial aces from the duo, the Brits came through 6-1, 2-6, (10-7).

Lapthorne said, “It’s fantastic to win the title again and before we’ve won it with Peter Norfolk in our team but it’s great to see we can still do it now he has retired with our current team.

 “It was a real team effort this week and we’ve all played our part and played some fantastic tennis.

"It’s always an honour to represent your country and my success this week has been helped by the amazing support we get from the Tennis Foundation and UK Sport through our National Lottery funding.”
