Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Wheelchair tennis is a sport for handicapped people which is played on regular tennis courts. All "pedestrian" variations of tennis are being played, i.e. same-sex doubles, mixed etc. The only rule that differs from non-wheelchair tennis is the one that concerns the number of bounces a ball may take before it must be played. In wheelchair tennis the ball may bounce up to two times, the second bounce may also occur outside of the field. This also holds true for service. Wheelchair tennis got started in the mid-70s thanks to the efforts of Brad Parks who is effectively the creator of competitive wheelchair tennis. Since then, a lot of effort has been put into the promotion of the sport in order to get rid of the therapy image that still clings to the handicapped sports today. It has been a Paralympic sport since the 1988 Summer Paralympics in Seoul , but it wasn't until Barcelona 1992 that wheelchair tennis acquired the status of a full-fledged competition. The 2000 Summer Paralympics in Sydney have boosted public awareness immensely. Some of the most thrilling action of all the
