一位在滑雪时受伤的美国人尝试坐在轮椅上打网球。1992年轮椅网球第一次成为残奥会运动项目。

美国的布拉德·帕克(Brad Parks)18岁时在滑雪时受伤致残。他尝试以打网球作为复健疗法。第二年,也就是1976年,帕克开创了轮椅网球运动。这项运动项目很快就发展成为国际竞技活动。1992年巴塞罗那残奥会(Paralympic Games in Barcelona)第一次出现轮椅网球比赛。

轮椅网球使用标准的网球场并采用网球比赛规则。唯一的例外是,参加轮椅网球比赛的运动员可以等球在地面上弹跳两次后回球,不必在球弹跳一次后就回球。由于轮椅被视为运动员身体的一部分,适用于运动员身体的规则也同样适用于轮椅。

今天,近100个国家已经有了轮椅网球项目。这一运动项目已被纳入所有的四大网球赛事。

An American injured while skiing experimented with tennis as a wheelchair sport. Wheelchair tennis first appeared as an Olympic event in 1992.

When American Brad Parks was 18, he suffered a disabling injury while skiing. After the accident, he began to experiment with tennis as a method of physical therapy. During the following year, 1976, Parks founded wheelchair tennis. The sport quickly evolved into an international competitive activity and first appeared at the Paralympic Games in Barcelona in 1992.

Wheelchair tennis is played on a standard tennis court and follows tennis rules. One exception is that in wheelchair tennis, a player is allowed to let the ball bounce twice, not once, before hitting a return shot. Because an athlete's wheelchair is considered to be a part of the body, rules that apply to the player's body also apply to the chair.

Today, nearly 100 countries have wheelchair tennis programs, and the sport is integrated into all four Grand Slam tennis events.

The men and women of the 2012 U.S. wheelchair tennis team, pictured above, prepare to leave for the Paralympic Games in London. The wheelchair tennis competitions will be held September 1–6.
