"On its official Doodles page, the search engine proclaimed, "Welcome to Stade Roland-Garros, where wheelchair tennis begins today!"

The wheelchair tennis events at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, which will take place on the famed clay courts of Roland Garros Stadium, got underway on August 30 and will end on September 7. During the competition, there will be singles and doubles matches in the men's, women's, and quads divisions.

Gustavo Fernandez (Argentina), Todiko Oda (Japan), Martin De La Puente (Spain), and Alfie Hewett (Great Britain) advanced to the round of 16 on Sunday in matches with different features.

Since its debut at the 1992 Paralympic Games in Barcelona, wheelchair tennis has been a part of all four Grand Slam events. There are currently more than 150 events listed on the International Tennis Federation Wheelchair Tennis Tour's official website.

Tokito Oda is accustomed to the red clay courts following the French Open, but he has been training at Roland Garros in preparation for Paris 2024.

Athletes in the sport are split into two categories:
  • The open class is intended for athletes who have normal arm function but a lifelong disability in one or both legs.
  • The quad class is for athletes who have extra limitations on their playing arm that limit their capacity to control a wheelchair and racquet.
