On November 27, 2017, the All England Club announced that it would host a Quad Doubles exhibition match, for the first time, in 2018.[1][2] Up to that time, the Quad division had not played at either Wimbledon or the French Open. Lapthorne and Wagner had long campaigned for the inclusion of the division in Wimbledon.[3][4][5] In December 2018, the All England Club announced a Quad Singles draw and a Quad Doubles draw in 2019.[6]
