Disability Sport on the BBC

World number one Esther Vergeer will be among those taking part at Wimbledon

The BBC will continue to screen disability sport in 2009.

Following on from the incredible success of the Great Britain team at the Beijing Paralympics, we will be charting their progress as the build up to London 2012 begins.

Once again, Wimbledon will feature a men's wheelchair doubles competition while this year will see the first women's wheelchair doubles event at SW19.

There will be coverage of the women's semi-finals on Friday 3 July from 1200 BST on BBC Red Button with commentary from former Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles champion Jayant Mistry and former British number one Janet McMorran.

Mistry will also be part of the commentary team for Saturday's semi-finals, also on BBC Red Button from 1200, along with Mark Bullock from the ITF.

Both the men's and women's finals will also be covered on Sunday from 1200.
