The 2024 Paralympics have been fantastic, from the opening ceremony to the events we’ve seen so far.
And now, there’s wheelchair tennis, which is mostly similar to the sport we saw in the Paris Olympics when it comes to the rules.
The differences? Glad you asked.
The one you’ll notice when watching a match is that the ball can bounce twice instead of just once. That’s legal and it leads to some incredible rallies.
Per UK’s Paralympics site, there’s another rule to take note of: “At the serve, the server must be in a stationary position before serving the ball, but is allowed one push of the wheelchair before striking the ball.”
That’s it! Enjoy.
