Let’s Get in a Wheelchair Day on June 9

The FFT is partnering the Adecco Group for Let’s Get in a Wheelchair Day, an initiative designed to introduce wheelchair tennis to the general public and promote the sport to them.

Spectators are invited to come along to Court 9 on Friday June 9 (10:00am to 5:30pm) and hit some balls from a wheelchair. In another of this year’s innovations, a tennis event for the hearing impaired will take place from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
