Wheelchair Tennis

The game is played on a standard tennis court. The main rule difference with able-bodied tennis is that the ball is allowed to bounce twice before being returned (as long as the first bounce is in fair territory).

In this sport, the wheelchair is considered part of the body; therefore, all rules that apply to a player’s body also apply to the wheelchairs.

Competition in wheelchair tennis is held in singles and doubles and is comprised of two sport classes. The Open class is for athletes with lower limb impairment, while the Quad class is for those with additional upper limb impairment.
