Wheelchair tennis

Tuesday August 8 - Sunday August 13 2023
Controlling the wheelchair is an essential skill for Paralympic tennis players, who must quickly turn it around a point to get in position to return the ball and cover the entire court.
Wheelchair tennis follows the rules of able-bodied tennis with one key exception: the ball is allowed to bounce twice before the player hits it back.
Athletes are divided into two categories: the ‘Open’ Class is for athletes with permanent impairment of one or both legs, but with normal arm function, and the ‘Quad’ Class is for athletes with additional restrictions in the playing arm, which limits the ability to handle the racquet and manoeuvre the wheelchair.
