💨 Abstract

In 2025, Naqi Rizvi emerged as a prominent figure in blind tennis. Despite losing his sight at age 7, this 34-year-old from London became the world's top-ranked blind male player. Blind tennis, which originated in Japan, uses adapted rules and a special ball with a bell to help players auditory track. Rizvi aims to boost the sport's profile and inclusion in the Paralympics and main tennis programs.
