Jin, Australia’s No.1 wheelchair tennis player and current World No.4 in the Quad Division, has enjoyed a breakthrough tournament in what is remarkably his first appearance at the prestigious French Event – Roland Garros. The young Australian has partnered with World No.1 Dutch star Sam Schröder to advance to the Quad Wheelchair Doubles Final after a series of outstanding performances throughout the week.
The pair will now face the world’s leading doubles combination of Niels Vink and Guy Sasson in the championship match, scheduled for 8.00pm Australian time. Tennis fans across Australia can watch the final live on Stan Sport.
For Jin, reaching a Grand Slam final in his debut appearance at Roland Garros is an extraordinary achievement and further evidence of his rapid rise through the international wheelchair tennis ranks. Earlier this week, the ITF highlighted Woodman’s Roland Garros debut as another significant step in his transition from junior world No.1 to one of the leading players on the professional circuit.
Jin’s journey has inspired the Hume Tennis Community for many years. Having developed his game at Hume Tennis and Community Centre, he has become one of Australia’s brightest sporting talents and a role model for young athletes throughout the country.
Hume Tennis Manager Tim Connelly said the entire Australian wheelchair tennis community would be rallying behind Jin on Friday night.
“To make a Grand Slam final at just 17 years of age and in your first visit to Roland Garros is an outstanding achievement. Jin continues to show what is possible through hard work, resilience and a genuine love of the sport.”
“Everyone at Hume Tennis is incredibly proud of what Jin has achieved. We know the entire Australian wheelchair tennis community will be cheering loudly and hoping he can capture his first Grand Slam title.”
Jin’s success is another reminder of the strength of Australia’s wheelchair tennis pathway and the role Hume Tennis continues to play in developing world-class athletes.
Tonight, the challenge gets even bigger, but so does the opportunity.
Good luck Jin and Sam — the entire Hume community is behind you as you chase Grand Slam glory in Paris.
