    Also a special big thanks to Andy Murray, who lead the charge with help from Roger Federer and a bunch on top 20 men’s and women’s players who lobbied internally to help get us there. To have the support of the best in the world was huge.

    This is a massive sign of progress for our community, and I appreciate all your help. I know there is a lot going on in the world at the moment, and the tournament might not even go ahead, but at least now we have the same rights as our able bodied counterparts - like we deserve

    The decision of not allowing us to compete, without communication or consideration was bigger than tennis. In yrs gone by decisions would have been made for us and no one would have cared. You cannot be treated differently because of your gender, race, religion or disability.

    Big thanks to the for reversing their decision - now allowing wheelchair players to compete at the 2020 Open. And most importantly thanks to you reading this for supporting us and sharing the message - you made this happen.

    A lot of people telling me the US Open not having wheelies isn’t discrimination b’cause jnrs and mixed also cancelled. Well mixed players can still play same sex doubles, and jnrs can still play main draw (like legends CoCo Gauff), also jnrs don’t get paid/not their pro career.

    Hey wondering what your reason was for canceling wheelchair tennis? I hope it’s not because you believe that all wheelchair users are are too medically fragile....was it left in the athletes court to be part of this decision too?

    Only one million people (and a live crowd of more than 10,000) watched win the Australian Open again this year. Not sure if they were common, but they seemed pretty enthusiastic about the sport.

    Replying to @bombermurray11 @duncs_h and 3 others
    To be honest, I can’t say I’ve ever watched a wheelchair tennis game, no loss for the common sport enthusiast.
