The 23-year-old, from Halesowen, has stripped to mark winning four Grand Slam titles in the past 12 months.

And she will also join the likes of Sir Lenny Henry by being given the freedom of the borough in Dudley.

She posed for Sport magazine and said: "If I can inspire people, that would make me so proud.

"A lot of young people look up to the likes of Beyoncé or Paris Hilton, and just want to be skinny and look good. But there are all sorts of people you can look up to in life. Someone who isn't quite perfect, in a wheelchair, but playing sports, and is healthy without looking like a stick – I'd hope people might find that a little bit inspiring."

In 2014, Jordanne became the first British woman to win a Grand Slam tournament. She triumphed in the Australian, French, US Open and Wimbledon crowns – winning the ladies doubles at each. This year she won again in Australia and at Wimbledon, while also winning the singles crown in the US.
