Jordanne Whiley, or Jordy to her friends, is not short of confidence.

She is more than happy to talk while the TV cameras roll.

Despitebeing just 20 years old, she's used to the attention. At her home she showed me old footage of her being interviewed by a TV news crew in Israel.

She was just a toddler at the time. She was waving to the crowds even then. Jordanne laughs as she watches it and says "I was such a little diva!".

Jordanne has used a wheelchair all her life. She was born with brittle bone disease in her legs. She has broken her legs 25 times now - but never playing wheelchair tennis.

Like all the athletes preparing for the Games, Jordanne is in intense training at the moment.

But she, more than most is aware that time is running out for any last minute changes. Recent injuries have hampered her training.

More than that though, there were times last year when she considered quitting the sport.

Thankfully though, she didn't quit. She will now be competing in a home Games.

In the doubles, she's seeded third so she has a good chance. She says "If I don't come back with a medal, I will be disappointed."

This could be quite a comeback - but it's not complete yet.
