Chinnor tennis ace's idea changes the game

Available for over a year

Nine-year-old Joanie Melady from Aston Rowant has just won her first tennis tournament. Her game's been given a huge boost, thanks to a incredible piece of new technology - but it's nothing to do with her racquet or tennis shoes... Joanie's started playing with a brand new prosthetic arm. The invention allows Joanie to serve the ball while holding her racquet in her right hand. The innovative new tool has even been named after her!
