Only two years after picking up a racket, 14-year-old Alex Chaston will be playing in the World Team Cup, the Davis and Fed Cup of wheelchair tennis.

Alex's mum Michelle told 5 live Afternoon Edition that the family are very proud of what he's achieved and that she can't believe he's made the step up to elite athlete in such a short time.

This week he'll be competing in a squad alongside some of Britain's top players, and his heroes, Gordon Reid, Alfie Hewett and Andy Lapthorne.

The British team have the opportunity to claim three out of the four titles on offer and their campaign kicks off on Tuesday.
