I play tennis and all I can say is that I have massive respect for these people. The game is hard enough as it is... adding the complexity of controlling your wheelchair whilst holding your tennis racquet and having to keep track of the ball whilst almost being at the same level as the net... Wow, just WOW!!

I'm genuinely amazed by watching this, it just looks fucking impossible. These guys could absolutely annihilate me at a game of Tennis with no use of their legs! The speed and accuracy of their movement is stunning to behold

It's true they would have difficulty competing against an able bodied player simply because the ab player is physically taller than somebody who is sitting, and they can move around the court faster. So, these guys play on a different level altogether. However, these are professional athletes who train a hard as any other and who have phenomenal upper body strength. When you think that some of these players have no control over their abdominal muscles, it's amazing they can even sit up, let alone hit a tennis ball with such strength and accuracy. If you think this is all "political correctness," that says far more about you than any wheelchair sportsman or woman.

Just came across this video. As a normal tennis player who sometimes complains about little things, Im so humbled by these sportsmen.

I fractured my leg 5 months back now I am 95% Fine.. I walk and jog but can't run now it will take 2 months more for it. Never take anything for granted. Respect what you have. And take care of it, your body Take care :)

I didn't even know this sport existed. Respect.

Absolutely excellent.....what an effort.....they are really differently abled..hats off

why in the world would the commentator describe Kunieda's performance as a walk in the park could you be more insensitive.

@eaglesandowls

It would not be insensitive to most wheelchair users. While I can't speak for all wheelchair users, most still use phrases like the commentator did and "going out for a walk" even if they don't literally mean it.

respect to them

I think it's amazing !

my recomendation to chair tennis as a sport. take two long ribbons, place them parallel to the sideout lines make the court a bit smaller and people will see better tennis ! its not much effort and will make the game much more spectacular.

awesome athletes..

I’m honestly surprised at how good they are... they have to do everything a normal tennis player does but with wheelchairs, amazing. Honestly, they would have a chance against most of our V

these guys must have some insane grip strength

People who have disabilities, and also have the same drive as able body's to win and be the best. Are truly better and more skilled in every aspect of sports. I cannot imagine how much dedication it must take to obtain such a great level of skill, against overwhelming odds.

i know how hard is, to do that, so my respect to then...

Wow this is fabulos magical ...

Wow I thought this was going to be bad but it is actually amazing.

Cool!

impressive most impressive

Shingo Kunieda is amazing!

Why dont they play the game of swingball

I went to High School with Gordon "Gio" Reid. You should wiki him if you don't know him. Great guy. Not that I knew him well but it's cool to say I went to highschool with someone who has competed at wimbeldon

Amazing. I just don't understand why don't they get about 10-16 balls at the begining of their serving game instead of getting them one by one or 2 at a time.

my mind is blown watching this..

Great to watch. Very nice disabled people can enjoy sports. Kunieda's spin serve is better than mine.

Terrible camera angles. There should be closer shots.

I would like to see special boxing why wont they do it?

Dude i really wanted to see it, but it (THE ACTUAL WHEELCHAIR TENNIS) starts when, like at 10:00 ??? Freaking waste of video time..

Incredible upper body strength.

I agree with Mystique Topaz

I’m sure I could beat these guys on two legs but I seriously question whether I could actually get into the points I don’t doubt that I would beat them in any long rally it’s just a question of whether I could get their serve in and hit mine in without it being an instant winner comparing an amateur on two feet with a decent serve to theese guys would give me a better idea whether I could actually handle their serve or not

some of these players play better than regular able-bodied players. *respect*

Just watched this now. This is a DIFFICULT sport to begin with. Greater and harder upper body training than usual to compensate for the legs. Trainings would have involved wheel control while having ball control as well! It's amazing to watch this.

If anime make story about wheelchair tennis, it would be great

Give em a game of swingball or summin

The kind of upper body strength that puts all those able legged tennis players to shame

They can beat me in tennis and i got both my legs to play

it'd be next 2 impossible.

Liam Parks is Japanese. He will NOT stare at people; it makes them feel so uncomfortable. He will NOT ask anyone for personal information such as "How much money do you have?"

Lol this is amusing and hilarious to watch

Where is the tweener? XD

These guys can take injury timeout all the time. That's huuge.

I respect them but I will dislike this video. There are things you just cannot do when you are in a wheelchair and tennis ist one of them. I would never play wheelchair tennis and I like to play tennis.

SO boring
