Why are you here?!
The Tennis Foundation Gordon Reid, world No.5 wheelchair tennis player and multiple Grand Slam champion: Tennis is a sport that anyone can play and that can be played anywhere. It s a sport that can be adapted to suit all levels of ability, as well as for players with different disabilities. Whatever broader potential someone has inside them, tennis can help bring it out and I would encourage anyone to get involved with the Tennis Foundation and see what the sport can do in their life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91bwinqakee
