(funky music)
- My name is Justin Walker, I'm from San Jose, California
and with my daughters and my wife.
My friends in San Jose they tricked me into coming out
and playing tennis so I fell in love with it.
One day you think you're pretty good and one day
you're not very good at all, know what I mean?
That's kind of the part that keeps bringing us out here.
Did I imagine myself playing tennis?
No, no.
Growing up tennis was a joke.
I was a basketball, football, baseball guy.
Tennis, golf, were for privileged
I guess you could say
but having my eyes opened to not only this sport
but all the wheelchair sports activities that are out there
it's truly amazing, truly truly amazing.
- My name is Jessica Clear Davidson, I'm 23
and I've been playing tennis for about 2 and a half years.
It's my first time in Arizona.
I'm here cause I love tennis and I love sports.
Before I was in a wheelchair I played a whole bunch
of different sports and just really had a passion
and then when I got in a wheelchair I was like that kinda
dream is over but I found wheelchair tennis and I loved it
and I've been playing ever since.
When I first heard that you could play tennis
in a wheelchair I was like what I don't think so,
I need to see this to believe it
but it was just like that feeling, that rush,
that adrenaline of being able to play sports again
was amazing.
I was comin' home after every practice sore just everywhere
everywhere and I'm like I don't know if I can do this,
this is hard, this is painful at times,
but my mom kept encouraging me, my dad kept encouraging me,
stick with it, stick with it, and I did
and so glad I did.
I wanna see more women out playing tennis,
we need more women, I want some good competition
so come on out and play.
