How R SIGNALS Players Are Serving Up Army Tennis Glory

With Wimbledon in full swing and the nation's eyes on SW19, there's no better time to celebrate a tennis season that's seen Royal Signals players make their own mark on the courts.

At the 2026 Army Championships, our soldiers didn't just compete - they dominated.

Sig Worrel claimed the Ladies title, then teamed up with Sig McMahon to take the Doubles crown as well! Sig Sanders (11 Sig Regt) was crowned U25 Champion, while Sig Frederick (71 Sig Regt) picked up the Most Promising Talent award, marking him out as one to watch in the years ahead.

It's a brilliant set of results, and a reminder of something easy to overlook: a career in the Army doesn't mean putting your sporting ambitions on hold. Quite the opposite. Service personnel get access to coaching, competitive structures, and the kind of support that lets talent thrive alongside a forces career whether that's on operations, on exercise, or out on centre court.

So if you're watching the Wimbledon fortnight unfold and wondering what a future in competitive tennis could look like for you, the Army and the Corps of Royal Signals might have more to offer than you'd think.

Huge congratulations to Sig Worrel, Sig McMahon, Sig Sanders and Sig Frederick. You've done the Corps proud.

 

Certa Cito.
