BROMYARD'S Janet McMorran will represent Great Britain in the Invacare World Team Cup, the Davis and Federation cups of wheelchair tennis.

The event, now in its 16th year, will take place in Paris, France, from July 17-23.

McMorran, is the British number one and World number eight. She has served on almost all of the Great Britain Women's World Team Cup squads and helped Britain to fourth place, their best result, in 1994, 1995 and 1996.

A relatively successful year so far on the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour has seen mother-of-three McMorran, aged 50, win both singles and doubles titles at the New Zealand Open and the Polish Open. The Invacare World Team Cup is the latest event in McMorran's build-up to the Paralympic Games in Sydney in October.

McMorran will be joined in the Great Britain Women's World Team Cup squad by British number two Kimberley Dell, from Eastbourne, and Solihull's Kay Forshaw.

All three players were members of the team that competed in the 1999 World Team Cup at Flushing Meadow, New York.

They will be aiming to improve on their 11th placing on that occasion and will face 15 other nations in Paris, including defending champions Australia and nine-time winners the Netherlands.

McMorran is a former winner in the Herefordshire Sports Personality of the Year Awards.

Immediately following the World Team Cup, McMorran will return home to play in the British Open at Nottingham Tennis Centre.

The British Open is one of only two tournaments on the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour to have Super Series status (equivalent to Grand Slam) and, as such is wheelchair tennis's equivalent of Wimbledon.
