London’s Olympic Park, currently being remodeled following the memorable events of the summer at both the Olympic Games and Paralympics, has been chosen as the venue for the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters for three years, starting in 2014.

 

NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters is the season finale to the wheelchair tennis circuit and features the world’s top eight men, eight women and four quad players.

 

The Stratford site was the only purpose-built venue for the 2012 Paralympics. International Tennis Federation president Francesco Ricci Bitti said: “British fans can look forward to the return of some outstanding athletes.”

 

The venue is due to reopen in 2014 with four indoor and six outdoor courts as the Lee Valley hockey and tennis centre at the newly-named Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

 

British Paralympic Association chief executive Tim Hollingsworth said: “The venues were packed in London 2012, which shows that the British public has an appetite for world-class international Paralympic sport.
