Allianz - Fact of the week - wheelchair tennis

What is the main difference between wheelchair tennis and the standing game?

Wheelchair tennis is one of the forms of tennis adapted for those who have an impairment in their lower body. The size of courts, balls, and rackets are the same, but there are two major differences; athletes use specially designed wheelchairs and the ball may bounce up to two times. The second bounce may also occur outside of the field.
