Wheelchair tennis at the 2012 Summer Paralympics

Players were classified according to the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allowed players to compete against others with a similar level of function. To compete in wheelchair tennis, athletes must have a major or total loss of function in one or both legs. Quadriplegic class players compete in mixed events, while Paraplegic class players (with full use of their arms) competed in separate men's and women's events.

Six events were contested:

• Men's singles
• Men's doubles
• Women's singles
• Women's doubles
• Quad singles
• Quad doubles

(Quadriplegic class players are not divided by gender)

112 competitors from 31 nations took part in this sport.
