Wheelchair Tennis

Just like its able-bodied counterpart, wheelchair tennis requires power, speed, finesse, precision, and strategy.
Aside from the sport wheelchair, no specialized tennis equipment is required to play wheelchair tennis (a standard racquet and tennis ball are used). A sport wheelchair gives players greater mobility, balance and speed than an everyday chair.
Wheelchair tennis is played on a standard court and follows the same rules as the stand-up game, except that players are allowed a second bounce before hitting a return.
