EDITORS NOTES : MOST PROFESSIONAL TENNIS PLAYERS TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH THE USUAL GEAR ,( their duffles of playing clothes and some casual clothes and some dressy clothes for player parties or sponsor events. It’s said some travel with their rackets never out of their reach. Novak’s team have a massage table and portable hyperbaric chamber but he flies on private jets. Many do travel with massage tables in the top ten. Because they travel with the masseuse that goes with it.

We truly admire the wheelchair athletes. They are remarkable on so many levels. Imagine what their travel needs are like ? Usually it’s two wheelchairs. Their regular chair and their match playing chair. As well the the playing clothes , the casual clothes and maybe some dressy clothes. We admire their sprit and their ability. Please check into the sport it’s truly a lifesaver for many athletes in “CHAIRS “! Shingo is our current favorite prior to that it was Esther Vergeer with over 400 wins.
