Celebrating the Paris Paralympics, Google also released a doodle, know what is this?

The Paris Paralympics 2024 competition is going on. Google is also celebrating the Paris Paralympic Games 2024 with a series of animated doodles. To celebrate, it is releasing new cartoons every day. For September 3, 2024, Google unveiled interactive artwork related to wheelchair tennis and created its own doodle about wheelchair tennis. Today's doodle features Google's Paralympic-themed birds, adding a lively sense to the ongoing series. As you can see, the doodle shows two bird players trying to hit tennis shots against each other. At the same time, the background looks like the ancient gardens of the Jardin du Palais Royal or Jardin des Tuileries in Paris.

Wheelchair tennis events at the Paralympic 2024 Games in Paris, France, began on August 30 and will be played until September 7 at the Roland Garros stadium. Roland Garros is known for its clay courts. The competition includes singles and doubles matches in men's, women's and quad categories. Wheelchair tennis has become one of the most popular sports in the world. It blends traditional elements of tennis with unique modifications that make it accessible to players with disabilities. The sport was founded in 1976 when Brad Parks, a former acrobatic skier, began experimenting with playing tennis in a wheelchair. Brad Parks was paralyzed after a skiing accident. Unlike other adaptive sports, wheelchair tennis is very similar to its traditional counterpart, as players use the same court, racket and tennis ball. The primary difference is in the rules, with wheelchair players allowed two bounces before returning the ball, while able-bodied athletes are allowed only one bounce. Wheelchair tennis was first featured at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympic Games. Since then, wheelchair tennis has been a major part of adaptive sports competitions. It was included in major tennis tournaments in 2007. This allowed wheelchair tennis matches to be included in traditional tournaments, including the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open Grand Slams.
