Wheelchair tennis is a sport that is played on a regulation tennis court, by people using specially designed wheelchairs. All pedestrian variations of tennis are, played, i.e. same-sex, doubles, mixed etc.

The only rule that differs from pedestrian tennis is the one that concerns the number of bounces a ball may take before it must be played. In wheelchair tennis the ball may bounce up to twice, the second bounce may also occur outside of the field. This also holds true for service.
