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 1, 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. Le jeu est très spectaculaire et très étonnant pour les amateurs de cette discipline! C'est ce qui en fait un sport universel, puisque les athlètes peuvent facilement échanger avec des partenaires non handicapés. 3, record 1, French, - tennis%20en%20fauteuil%20roulant
