U.S. wheelchair tennis players growing in confidence at 2022 US Open and beyond

From tennis fan to world-class competitor: Though Jason Keatseangsilp's US Open debut didn't go as he wanted on the scoreboard, the 27-year-old American is only taking the positives from his first-ever Grand Slam match.

"I've been to the US Open as a spectator before, and to actually be a player now, it's crazy," he said Wednesday after a 6-0, 6-1 loss to 11th-ranked Ruben Spaargaren in Round 1 of the men's wheelchair singles event at the US Open Wheelchair Championships presented by Deloitte.
