The International Tennis Federation (ITF) recently announced the UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Tour Calendar for the first four months of 2017, from January through to April.

The current calendar includes dates and tournament gradings for the events taking place up until the end of April 2017.

The first four months of the UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Tour will feature the Australian Open Grand Slam, the Super Series events taking place in Australia and South Africa and the Cruyff Foundation Junior Masters, which will once again take place in Tarbes, France, at the end of January.

In 2014 UNIQLO signed a three-year sponsorship agreement for the ITF’s major wheelchair tennis properties. The agreement saw UNIQLO become the title sponsor of the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour and Wheelchair Doubles Masters, as well as an international sponsor of the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters.

Dates and venues for the 2017 BNP Paribas World Team Cup will be confirmed in due course.
