Wheelchairtennis is a sport for people with disabilities that is played on a regulation tennis court.
Wheelchairtennis is one of the fastest-growing wheelchair sports and there is a range of activities to suit all standards, including two-day camps for beginners, juniors and women.
WheelchairTennis is played according to the Rules of Tennis, but with the one exception that a wheelchair player is allowed two bounces of the ball, providing the first bounce is within the usual parameters of the court.
The 2004SummerParalympics were held in Athens, Greece, from September 17 to September 28.
The exclusion was introduced after the 2000 SummerParalympics in Sydney, the first games with events exclusively for people with learning difficulties, after it was found that the majority of the Spanish basketball team were not disabled.
The traditional cultural display was removed from the ceremony as a mark of respect for the deaths of 37 teenagers and 4 teachers from Farkadona, travelling to Athens, whose bus collided with a lorry near the town of Kamena Vourla.
