    I was just reading a news article about wheelchair tennis, and I have to admit I was skeptical as to the level of play. But these guys are really outstanding. In particular, the way they maneuver around the court is truly impressive. Sadly, the stands appear empty for this finals match. The tournament organizers should make certain that doesn't happen again, even if it means giving out free tickets. These athletes deserve to play before a crowd.

    @999a0s 2 роки тому +1

    Outside of these guys’ insane conditioning and strength it’s so interesting because it puts a whole new twist on tennis through the way they move. It makes shot placement and movement an even bigger part of the game because it’s harder to change your momentum, so movement becomes a lot more strategic. So so cool

    • @ex0duzz
      @ex0duzz Рік тому

      I wouldn't say it's harder to change momentum, since they can spin and continue to use the same momentum, whereas someone standing cannot do that. So if anything it's easier for them to conserve momentum and use it by spinning early.
