ITF Wheelchair Doubles Masters Returns to California

The International tennis Federation (ITF) has confirmed that the 2014 Wheelchair Doubles Masters will again take place at Mission Viejo, California on 5-9 November.

For a second successive year the ITF’s flagship wheelchair tennis doubles event will take place at the Marguerite Tennis Pavilion.

The tournament features the world’s top eight men’s pairs, top six women’s pairs and top four quad pairs.

ITF Wheelchair Tennis Manager Mark Bullock said: “We are delighted that Mission Viejo will host the 2014 ITF Wheelchair Doubles Masters after such a tremendous event in 2013.

“Mission Viejo’s commitment to the development of wheelchair tennis over many years has been outstanding and I would like to congratulate the city on receiving the USTA Brad Parks Award.”

Last year Mission Viejo hosted the ITF Wheelchair Doubles Masters alongside the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters, the season-ending championship for the world’s top ranked singles players.

As a result of hosting last year’s event, Mission Viejo was recently named as the first city to receive the USTA Brad Parks Award, which is awarded annually to recognise outstanding contribution to wheelchair tennis.
