Since 2022, the private charitable foundation "Serik Tolbasy Qory" has been the official sponsor of the national wheelchair tennis team of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This partnership has become a significant step in the development of inclusive sports in the country and in supporting athletes who overcome both physical and mental barriers every day.

Wheelchair tennis is a full-fledged, thrilling, and technically demanding sport officially recognized as a Paralympic discipline. Matches are held on the same courts, with the same balls and rackets as classic tennis. The only rule that differs is that the ball is allowed to bounce twice before being returned. Specially adapted sports wheelchairs with high maneuverability and unique wheel geometry are used, allowing players to move freely and perform sharp turns on the court.

“When we step onto the court, we don’t think about the wheelchair — we think about winning. For us, sport is not just competition, it’s proof that the limits of possibility lie in the mind,”

says one of the team members.

Thanks to the sponsorship from "Serik Tolbasy Qory", the team has been able to acquire modern equipment, conduct training camps, participate in international tournaments, and strengthen its coaching and medical staff. For the athletes, this is more than just financial aid — it is recognition of their dedication, belief in their potential, and appreciation of their achievements.

“The foundation’s support was a turning point for us. Attention to Paralympic sport in Kazakhstan is growing, and we are proud that our hard work is being noticed and valued,”

says the national team’s coach.

Wheelchair tennis is represented at all four Grand Slam tournaments — the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open — as well as in a series of competitions organized by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). With each passing year, Kazakhstani para-athletes grow stronger, more confident, and more experienced, proving to the world that determination, ambition, and effort outweigh any limitations.
