United Spinal Rises to the PepsiCo Challenge The Joy of Wheelchair Tennis Karin Korb has made all sorts of people believers when they watch her game at venues like the Jana Hunsaker Memorial next month at Flushing Meadows. By Liz M. Treston Karin Korb is all concentration on the court, one contributing factor in her success on the USTA wheelchair tennis circuit. One of the great benefits of wheelchair tennis is that almost anyone can play. Quads can strap a racquet to their wrists with ace bandages; some brave ones even play using duct tape. Serious players have three-wheel tennis chairs that can literally spin on a dime, but players often compete in power chairs or their everyday chairs. It truly is a sport for everyone. But a very few, of course, are better than most. For those players, like United Spinal member Karin Korb, there’s the US Tennis Association (USTA) tournament circuit where you can meet players at the level of your game.

Wheelchair tennis player tries out for high school team Two days ago I wrote about a wheelchair athlete winning the right to compete on her high school track team, and the next morning I opened our local paper to find a story about a wheelchair tennis player competing against non-disabled players for his high school team. Dylan Levine has to wheel back and forth across the court during volleys because he can't move sideways, and he gets an extra bounce before he has to hit the ball, as per U.S. Tennis Association rules, but aside from that, he's set to try out and compete for his team just like any other high school athlete. The 14-year-old Levine, who has a bone disease called fibrous dysplasia, is ranked number seven among world junior wheelchair tennis players, and may be volleying in the Paralympics in 2012. In the meantime, he has his sights set on a varsity letter and some home-school fame. And as a bonus, his presence is spurring his school and likely the other schools in its league to make the tennis courts more accessible to people with disabilities. Are there wheelchair athletes competing in schools in your area? Mention them in the comments, and I'll give these remarkable sports stars some recognition in this blog.

Press Release WHO/37 27 May 2000 MARTINA HINGIS TEAMS UP WITH FRENCH WHEELCHAIR TENNIS CHAMPION TO PLAY THE MATCH POINT AGAINST POLIO EMBARGO: Do not reproduce, distribute or publish before 12:30 CET on Saturday, 27 May 2000 GENEVA/PARIS The number one ranked women's tennis player, Martina Hingis, and Thierry Caillier, the former French wheelchair tennis champion, urged tennis fans to support the global effort to eradicate polio during the weekend before the French Open. As part of a public awareness campaign called "Match Point Against Polio", Ms Hingis and Mr Caillier gave a special tennis clinic to local children and educated them about the crippling disease. Polio is a highly infectious disease which can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. Wild poliovirus importations, like the one into France in 1995, demonstrate that all children are at risk until every child in the world is immunized against the disease. Earlier this year, Ms Hingis was appointed World Health Organization (WHO) Goodwill Ambassador for polio eradication, and launched "Match Point Against Polio". The campaign will raise funds and awareness and will catalyze public participation for eradication of the disease. The campaign includes televised public service announcements to be broadcast on Eurosport and other stations around the world, a special website (
