Wheelchair Tennis
With the size of the court, rackets, net height all being the same as regular tennis, wheelchair tennis allows participants in specially designed wheelchairs to play on any tennis court available. The sole change in rules from standard tennis is the ball is allowed to bounce twice, the second bounce can be outside the court. Wheelchair tennis has been a mainstay of the Summer Paralympics since 1988.
