Wheelchair Tennis

One of the most moving experiences of my life was to play a competitive Tennis match against a opponent in a wheelchair. I commend USTA (United States Tennis Association) for making this happen (the person in wheelchair gets an additional bounce). My opponent was a very accomplished, nationally rated tennis player, and I was literally mesmerized by some of his shot making and movement. While able bodied me only has to use the non-dominant hand for balance, my opponent had to roll the weight of his body to position, then grab the racquets and then make the shot. That three set experience changed the way I thought about lots of things. Rules of Wheel Chair Tennis (Comments Disabled for Now. Sorry!)
