Rising star Ben Bartram, a standout athlete representing Volkl, has officially secured his spot in the Paris Paralympics 2024. The 19-year-old tennis prodigy, who continues to make waves in the sport, is set to compete on the global stage, showcasing his talent and determination.

Bartram’s selection for the Paralympics comes on the heels of a remarkable year of achievements. Most notably, he reached the semi-finals of the men’s doubles at Wimbledon 2024—an incredible feat he accomplished on his 19th birthday. The milestone highlighted his potential as one of the brightest young talents in wheelchair tennis, as he and his doubles partner fought valiantly before falling short of the final.

This achievement is part of a larger trend of excellence for Bartram. He ended 2022 as the ITF Junior Wheelchair Tennis Player of the Year, a recognition of his outstanding performances on the international stage. That same year, his success and promise also earned him a spot on the shortlist for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award, further cementing his status as a rising star in British sport.

A force to be reckoned with on the international circuit, Bartram’s journey to the Paris Paralympics marks a significant step in his career. Known for his fierce competitiveness, agile play, and determination, he has quickly become a prominent figure in wheelchair tennis. Fans and fellow athletes alike are eagerly anticipating his performance in Paris, where he will compete among the world's best.

With his combination of talent, youth, and drive, Ben Bartram is undoubtedly one to watch as he prepares to take on the challenge of the Paris Paralympics 2024. Here at Volkl, we are thrilled to be part of his journey and look forward to supporting him as he continues to reach new heights in his career.
