Paralympic Tennis - Wheelchair (large print)

Synopsis

On this page, there are three images: a player about to return a high ball, a player returning a service and a small image of a player serving a ball to his opponent. All of the players are wheelchair users. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Player about to return a high ball (left). This image fills the left side of the page. It shows a tennis player, seen from the front, in her wheelchair. The player's head is turned to the right in the left centre of the image with her hair in a ponytail to the left. Only one of her eyes can be found. Down the page are her shoulders with one arm to the right extending up and to the right. She holds a tennis racquet in her hand and is about to hit the ball, which is to the left of the racquet. Her other arm goes down the page from her shoulders to her hand resting on the wheel of her chair, which is seen from the front with its wheels to the left and right. The player's body and legs are further down the page from her shoulders. She is wearing a grey sleeveless vest and red shorts. Player returning a service (top right). This image shows a player returning a ball that has been served to her. She is seen from the side so that only one of her eyes can be found. The player's head is in the top centre of the image, facing to the left. She is wearing a sun visor that sticks out from her forehead with a band around her head. Down the page, her arm can be found extending left to her hand holding a racquet. The ball has been hit by the racquet and is now in the top left corner of the image, travelling to the left. Down and right from the player's head are her shoulders, with her other arm stretched out to the right. Further down the page you can find her body, perched on the seat of the wheelchair with her one visible leg going left and down to her foot on the footrest. The large spoked, round wheel of the chair is to the right of her foot. Player serving the ball to his opponent (bottom right). There are two players shown in this image. They are both in wheelchairs and seen from the side at a much smaller scale than the other images. One player is in the bottom left of the image; he is facing to the right with his racquet held out to the right. In the bottom centre of the image you can find the vertical line of the tennis net seen from the side. The other player is in the bottom right of the image, facing to the left. He has just thrown the ball up in the air with his hand on the left. To the right he holds up his racquet, about to hit the ball. He has both legs amputated above the knee, although only one of them is visible.
