Federer is not in a wheelchair. We posted this news, because we want more people to think about the Paralympic Games and the sporters that will participate. Paralympic sports are also very fun to watch and the sporters are also very good. Federer will not have a chance againt Esther Vergeer for example if he plays in a wheelchair, but you are more likely to watch wheelchair tennis when Federer is playing. We hope that you will give the Paralympics in London a chance and watch the sporters compete for the gold medals.
