Abstract

The ITF was the first international federation to include the disability element of the sport and this has allowed it to go from strength to strength. The growth and evolution of wheelchair tennis has been remarkable. For a wheelchair sport that is just coming up to it’s 35th birthday the developments have been significant. The most important factor was the early recognition by the International Tennis Federation that wheelchair tennis should be part of the tennis family.
