Lockdown has affected the lives of many blind and partially sighted people across the world, including the ability to stay fit and active.

 According to a survey by the Royal National Institute for Blind People (RNIB), two-thirds of blind and visually impaired people say they feel less independent now than they did before.

RNIB Connect Radio's Paulina Kuchorew caught up with blind tennis champion Rosie Pybus to find out what playing tennis looks like now, during the so-called "new normal" of social distancing and her work on an exciting event organised by the The Lawn Tennis Association.
