Do you actually have to have a disability to compete in wheelchair tennis or can you just hop in a wheelchair and play

Wheelchair tennis is a Paralympic sport that is played by people with physical disabilities that affect their mobility. However, not all wheelchair tennis players have disabilities. Some players have temporary disabilities, such as a broken leg, while others have permanent disabilities, such as spinal cord injuries.

There are no specific rules that state that a player must have a disability to compete in wheelchair tennis.
