Tokyo 2020 Paralympics: Wheelchair tennis

Welcome to the Tokyo Paralympics 2020!

This thread is for the wheelchair tennis competition.

This is one of the Paralympic team sports that looks most like its able-bodied equivalent: the only difference I'm aware of is that the ball is allowed to bounce twice rather than once before it has to be returned. This gives the sport a slightly hypnotic quality to watch, in my experience!

The competition runs from Friday 27th August to Saturday 4th September, though like any other tennis competition, we won't know the order of play for each day until the day before. It should appear here when it gets announced.

Wheelchair tennis very much on the box today as the tournaments progress into their latter rounds.

Things are looking very good for Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid. Who I've realised are currently Britain's highest ranking tennis players.
