Wheelchair tennis is tennis.... The rules of the game(with the exception of the 2 bounce rule), the fundamental tactics and techniques as well as the physical and mental preparations applied to coaching able-bodied players all transfer over to wheelchair tennis. The major new skill a tennis coach has to master is teaching mobility. Being able to move a wheelchair around the tennis court in the most efficient way mirrors the footwork an able-bodied player needs to master in order to maximize his/her tennis game. 2, record 2, English, - wheelchair%20tennis

Les règles de jeu du tennis en fauteuil roulant sont les mêmes que le tennis habituel, sauf qu'on peut laisser la balle faire deux bonds avant de la frapper.
