What is "wheelchair tennis"?
Wheelchair tennis is a sport adapted from tennis, allowing athletes with physical disabilities to participate while using a wheelchair. The rules are mostly the same as regular tennis, with the key difference being that the ball is allowed to bounce twice before being returned, and the second bounce can occur outside the court boundaries if necessary. Players use a wheelchair to move around the court, and the game can be played in singles or doubles. Wheelchair tennis is an inclusive and competitive sport, played at various levels, from recreational to professional tournaments.
