Andy Lapthorne added yet another Grand Slam title to his illustrious collection by winning the quad doubles final at the 2025 Australian Open. Team Dunlop’s Lapthorne paired up with Dutchman Sam Schroder in a thrilling and hard-fought match.

What made this win particularly special for Lapthorne was the fact that it came after a series of challenging years in his career. After his defeat in the 2024 Paris Paralympic quads doubles final, an emotional but steadfast Andy Lapthorne announced that Paris 2024 will be the final Paralympic Games of his career. His decision brings down the curtain on a Paralympic career which began at London 2012 where he won quad doubles silver alongside Peter Norfolk.
