Wheelchair Tennis 11:49 - Jul 15 with 1748 viewsNoelmc

Great to see my sport, wheelchair tennis getting excellent coverage on BBC2 this morning. It's the Men's Doubles Final with two Brits Reid & Hewitt playing the French No 1 seeds. Well worth a watch.

Just caught bit of it. Good game.

Incredible skill and strength. Really enjoying the wheelchair tennis.

Never knowingly right.

Shame about the rain. I suspect when it resumes it will be on the red button whereas the multi-camera HD coverage on BBC2 was excellent.

Fair play to the BBC putting it back on BBC2 now that it has resumed.

Caught some highlights this afternoon, is the main rule tweak the ball can bounce twice? Or more than twice?

I'm no expert but I think the main rule tweak is that they have to be in wheelchairs...

Just watching the end of the Women's Doubles. It's exhausting, in fairness. Non-stop motion, long rallies, massive upper-body strength required. Impressive sport.

You lose the point if you let the ball bounce more than twice. However many shots are played off one bounce or on the volley.

Brilliant sport. Amazing the amount of power they get from their serve, especially in a seating position.

Great to see Gordon Reid win he's a nice bloke as well. Long story short but my brother in law is a wheelchair tennis player, he won gold in Beijing. He's French and knows the mayor of Paris and sorted out complementary tickets for the winner of England's group at euro 2016. He was going to come along with us but there was a tennis tournament going on and he reached the final so couldn't make it so Gordon Reid came along instead.

Afternoon spent drinking free champagne. Typical England let us down and spent it watching Wales N Ireland.
