Invacare extends tennis wheelchair deal

Medical products provider Invacare Corporation has signed a three-year extension to its wheelchair tennis partnership, the International Tennis Federation announced today.

Invacare has been a partner of ITF wheelchair tennis since 1996 and is the title sponsor of the sport's international team event - the Invacare World Team Cup. The new agreement also incorporates benefits at the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters and at ITF Wheelchair Tennis Training.

ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti said of the new agreement: "Wheelchair tennis is one of the fastest-growing and most professionally managed disabled sports and this is due in no small part to the dedication and investment of Invacare."
