ITF To Re Launch Wheelchair Website |

The ITF has announced the relaunch of the official ITF Wheelchair Tennis website, www.itftennis.com/wheelchair, coinciding with the start of this week’s NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters, the ITF’s year-end wheelchair tennis event taking place in Mechelen, Belgium between November 8th and 12th.

Since wheelchair tennis became a fully integrated part of the ITF in 1997 it has become one of the fastest growing Paralympic sports and is currently played in more than 100 countries. The NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour, organized by the ITF, currently consists of 170 tournaments in more than 40 countries offering over $1 million in prize money. The tour includes wheelchair tennis events at all four majors.

The main aim of the new-look site is to improve the ease of navigation and enhance the user experience for visitors to the site. This has been achieved by relating content across the player, tournament and ranking areas. A wide range of photos are displayed on the homepage and within news articles and galleries, while the website also supports wheelchair tennis’s social media initiatives on Twitter and Facebook.
