Since she was a little girl Joanie had a dream – to play tennis.<\/p>\n

Due to a congenital limb condition from birth, her left arm has failed to fully develop, meaning she initially struggled to throw the ball up to serve. <\/p>\n

But thanks to her new prosthetic arm, the nine-year-old from south Oxfordshire can now play her favourite sport and has recently won her first ever tournament.<\/p>\n

BBC Breakfast surprised Joanie and her dad with a special message from three-time grand slam champion Andy Murray… which didn’t go entirely to plan.<\/p>\n
