Paralympics 2024: The wheelchair tennis events are taking place from August 30 to September 7 at the Roland Garros Stadium.
Wheelchair tennis has grown into one of the world's most popular adaptive sports, blending the traditional elements of tennis with unique modifications that make it accessible to players with disabilities.
The sport traces its roots back to 1976 when Brad Parks, a former acrobatic skier who became paralyzed after a skiing accident, began experimenting with playing tennis in a wheelchair.
