This is just crazy, I can hardly imagine how much they work they're upper body. Respect to you all.
+91768leo They are more than an upper body
The seem to skip legday.
+Ennis Del Mar that is not funny at all
their*
ClementineJ shut up, stop being so sensitive
I'm actually a wheelchair tennis player. I've seen these guys live. It's amazing!!
Cool!😃
+Cole Wooten are you from britain
+Angelamcculloch08 Mcculloch no I'm from Georgia
+Cole Wooten oh do you play itf tournaments?
looks exhausting. i wouldn't last more than 3 games
kevin mendoza Yes the same here. I would be worn out after lugging that tennis bag about. They are truely amazing and very inspirational.
More like 3 serves.
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.
you realize they get 2 bounces right. if it was 1 bounce rule, they would get destroyed by any 2.5+ player
Yes it's not exactly the same game as standing tennis. Nevertheless, world class athletes. Could you beat them at a game of wheelchair tennis?
I play against 4.0s no problem at all. don't be a fool, yes we belong to a different division that is all.
Just came across this video. As a normal tennis player who sometimes complains about little things, Im so humbled by these sportsmen.
Match starts at 12:00
Andreas Hoppe thank you
Match starts at 31:47
Respect.
I didn't even know this sport existed. Respect.
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 :)
That is so sick, RESPECT!
Awesome sporting action, we agree!
If you like this then you will definitely have to watch our livestream of the wheelchair tennis British Open from Thursday (19th) to Sunday (22nd July)!
why in the world would the commentator describe Kunieda's performance as a walk in the park could you be more insensitive.
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.
Absolutely excellent.....what an effort.....they are really differently abled..hats off
the moment you realise that a guy in a whellchair has a better serve than you :(
Lol
+Rahul Dabas XD
Aha yeah
Ableist!! I use a walker/wheelchair and I have an amazing serve
Emma Clare good job
even while standing i cannot beat them , their shots are amazing
The Paralympics is truly amazing. I respect ye all!
they're both so talented
This is more competitive than WTA tennis
I’m amazed! Impressive and respect to you all!
hit it, net
“Don’t put it on the telly”
Give em a game of swing ball.
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
I would lose so hard to these guys. They hit soo much better than me
Just hit short balls and then long balls
+Sickening Skittles yeah like you could beat them
+Sickening Skittles do you actually play wheelchair tennis no you don't you'd get double bageld lol your shit compared to these guys
Did you really have to plus one your comment to boost your baby ego?
Sickening Skittles I love how you keep on plusing one your one comments 😂😂😂 why is gay being an insult (idiot)
respect to them
Im over here with legs that work sitting on my couch
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.
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.
these guys must have some insane grip strength
Very informative video - thank you!
Shingo Kunieda is amazing!
awesome athletes..
Great to watch. Very nice disabled people can enjoy sports. Kunieda's spin serve is better than mine.
Wow I thought this was going to be bad but it is actually amazing.
i know how hard is, to do that, so my respect to then...
Just Awesome!
Wow this is fabulos magical ...
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
impressive most impressive
I think it's amazing !
my mind is blown watching this..
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.
Why dont they play the game of swingball
Incredible upper body strength.
Life is good
Liam Parks wasn't born paralyzed; he was born healthy.
+hyun kim So?
The only valid excuse to skip leg day
He wasn't born paraplegic. He was a full term boy who walked early and talked early. He was born full term.
some of these players play better than regular able-bodied players.
*respect*
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..
Liam Parks will turn 17 on February 21 (he's a Pisces).
Cool!
I agree with Mystique Topaz
I'm using it in an appropriate way. He almost got held back because he was born on February 21 (Pisces).
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
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?"
Looks like Junior Varsity tennis.
Good question! What's up there
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.
Guys are they allowed double bounces cause I'm a tennis player and not used to the Paralympic style
+Luca Bowe Yes bro. double bounce are allowed .
K thx
nice camber
If anime make story about wheelchair tennis, it would be great
Because this is the Paralympics no Special Olympics?
why not wimbledon grass courts?
THEY SHOULD MAKE A GAME OUT OF THIS!
MrMihajilovic what??
The kind of upper body strength that puts all those able legged tennis players to shame
Muse!!
Give em a game of swingball or summin
they're way better than me, and i can use my legs, i feel so bad lol
ахренеть, прастите за мой албанский
Dropshot😬😵
#Stancenation
They can beat me in tennis and i got both my legs to play

Can't do kickserves. They will need a pimped-out, pneumatic or hydraulic wheelchair to launch.
Shingo Kunieda has spina bifida.
and what about Phillipson, do you know?
Where is the tweener? XD
If you are looking for a best transport wheelchair, which is travel friendly, check out this great article reviewing the different products. www.azonvisor.com/transport-wheelchair/
i wreckon the ballboys should have wheel chairs as well
These guys can take injury timeout all the time. That's huuge.
Lol this is amusing and hilarious to watch
Shut up plob ster
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
