The Games are coming home to the country where it all started with Sir Ludwig Guttman organizing sporting events for veterans of World War II. Ever since the Paralympic Games have been an exceptional success story and London will be the next chapter. Over the course of 12 days, London will be at the heart of the Paralympic Movement welcoming more than 4,200 athletes from over 150 countries competing against each other on the highest level Paralympic Sport can showcase. Wheelchair Tennis is growing in popularity all the time. This has been underlined by the fact that all tickets for this event were sold out 200 days before the Opening Ceremony. I am sure the action we see over the coming days will cement the sport’s place as one of Paralympic Movement’s main attractions. As you take in each experience while at the Games, I hope that you leave with an impression of inspiration that lasts a lifetime. 02 Francesco Ricci Bitti Debbie Jevans President, International Tennis Director of Sport, Federation (ITF) London 2012 It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to Eton Manor for On behalf of LOCOG, I’m delighted to welcome you to the Wheelchair Tennis Event at the XIV Paralympic Games in the Wheelchair Tennis competition at the London 2012 London.

ISBN: 978-91-7264-979-8; ISSN: 0281-6768 Abstract This thesis is about selection processes and processes of measuring and judging athletes in compe- titions in top-level sport. The purpose was to increase the knowledge of these processes and to analyse them from a validity perspective in order to contribute to the discussion of whether the “right” athletes are selected to participate in teams, competitions and games and whether the “right” athletes win. The rule and judging systems were investigated in the judged sports acroski and rhythmic gymnastics. Information was gathered through individual interviews with two judges, two coaches, and four elite athletes from each of the sports, and in addition to this the respective sport’s rule systems, judging manuals, meeting protocols and historical documents were studied.

    Contact: Matt Van Tuinen MVT PR 773-525-5360 [email protected] FORMER WORLD NO. 1 AND GRAND SLAM CHAMPION ANA IVANOVIC GRANTED WILDCARD FOR PILOT PEN TENNIS Serbian Star Attracts Fans Both On And Off The Court NEW HAVEN, Conn., August 5, 2010 – Former World No. 1 and Grand Slam champion Ana Ivanovic has been granted a wildcard into Pilot Pen Tennis at Yale, an Olympus US Open Series event on the ATP World Tour and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, to be held August 20-28 at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale, it was announced today by Anne Worcester, tournament director. The 22-year old Serbian star will be making her first trip to New Haven, where she will be seeking the ninth title of her career. Two years ago Ivanovic had a magical season that included the French Open title, a runner-up finish at the Australian Open, and the World No. 1 ranking. The following year in 2009 was filled with nagging injuries that caused inconsistency and left her without a title for the first time since 2005, but she did reach the finals at Indian Wells, and the fourth round of the French Open and Wimbledon. This year she has reached the semifinals at Brisbane and in Rome. “I am excited to make my first visit to the Pilot Pen,” said Ivanovic. “I have been working hard on my game, and hope that I can play well and capture the title. I’ve heard great things about this event, and hope that this could be the first of many more trips to New Haven.” Ivanovic is a star that transcends the sport, with model-looks that have graced the covers of numerous magazines around the world.
