HALESOWEN'S Jordanne Whiley is turning her attention to winning more World Team Cup medals for Great Britain on the back of claiming her latest major doubles title at the Japan Open in Iizuka last weekend.

The 22-year-old wheelchair tennis star and Japan’s Yui Kamiji, winners of the last five Grand Slam doubles titles together, beat Whiley’s fellow Brit Lucy Shuker and Germany’s Sabine Ellerbrock 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in Japan to earn their second Super Series doubles title together.

The top seeds earlier reached the title decider for the loss of just one game in their opening two doubles matches, while third seed Whiley wrapped up two comfortable straight sets wins to reach the women’s singles semi-finals before bowing out 6-4, 6-2 to Dutch second seed and world No. 3 Aniek van Koot.

Whiley will now join forces with Shuker and Louise Hunt as the trio selected by the Tennis Foundation this week bid to improve on Great Britain’s two silver medals over the last two years at the BNP Paribas World Team Cup, the wheelchair tennis equivalent of the Davis and Fed Cups.

“It’s been really nice to spend time in Yui’s home country and the people have been lovely. I've made my seeding in both singles and doubles, but personally I would say my performances have been below par, so I'm looking to find better form at the World Team Cup,” said Whiley, who has been boosted this week by returning to No. 5 in the women’s singles world rankings, while remaining world No. 2 in doubles.

The 2015 World Team Cup takes place next week in Antalya, Turkey, where Whiley, Shuker and Hunt were finalists in 2013 to claim the second of Britain’s three silver medals in the women’s World Group since 2009.

"It's always a privilege to play for my country and there should be a great atmosphere in Turkey once again," added Whiley. "I'm really excited for the week and after winning silver for the last two years we'll be aiming for gold this time.”
