Guests Jason Harnett and Rob Cross of the USTA takes through the history of wheelchair tennis in its 50th Anniversary year and how it has evolved during that time. We discuss the similarities between wheelchair and stand up tennis, as well as the differences for coaching players that are in a chair. The team also talks about how the trauma players experience affects the coach-player relationship.
