Penney claims Torino doubles trophy<\/p>\n

Andrew Penney<\/a> claimed his third men\u2019s doubles title of 2026 at the WC100 Trofeo Della Mole in Turin as Britain\u2019s wheelchair players reached a series of finals across tournaments in Italy, Germany and Belgium.<\/p>\n

Penney won his first career title partnering Malaysia\u2019s Mohamad Yusshazwan Yusoff as the top seeds eased to three straight sets wins, beating Britain\u2019s Ruben Harris and Adam Berdichevscky of Israel 6-3, 6-3 in the title decider, which was also Harris\u2019s fourth doubles final of the 2026.<\/p>\n

Penney and Harris also met in the singles quarter-finals in Turin, Penney prevailing 6-2, 6-2 before coming from a set down to beat Berdichevsky in the semi-finals and ultimately finishing runner-up to Yusoff, who took the title decider 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-2.<\/p>\n

Lucy Shuker\u2019s<\/a> hopes of earning the 99th doubles title of her career ended in a runner-up finish at the inaugural WC500 Hamburg Wheelchair Open with\u00a0 Ksenia Chasteau of France. They lost to Dutch duo Jinte Bo and Lizzy de Greef 6-1, 6-4 in the final.<\/p>\n

There were also runners-up honours for Ben Bartram<\/a> and Bazil\u2019s Daniel Roodrigues at the WC250 Belgian Open. Playing their fourth tournament together, Bartram and Rodrigues beat Casey Ratzlaff and Ji Zhenxu 6-2, 6-3 to end a run of three semi-final losses, but their hopes of a first title as a partnership came to and end against Dutch fourth seed Robin Groenewoud and Maarten Ter Hofte, who won a thrilling conclusion to the final 3-6, 6-3, 10-6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Penney claims Torino doubles trophy Andrew Penney claimed his third men\u2019s doubles title of 2026 at the WC100…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-828952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
