The test tournament was held using the All Japan Championship held at this venue. On the 28th, Kunieda Kunieda of wheelchair tennis and Takuya Miki participated in an exhibition game to check the issues.
The game was held at the center court, and Kunieda used to go out of the building and use the entrance with a slope to avoid the stairs on the way to the court.
In addition, because the large scoreboard installed behind the court was protruding about 2 meters from the wall, Kunieda said, “Since I think there will be players who will hit the scoreboard as a doubles match, I wanted to get it. "
In addition, Miki pointed out that the entrance that requires a round-trip is "I want to improve if I take a toilet break during the game, because it takes time for a round trip."
The organizing committee of the Tokyo Games will consider installing a temporary toilet near the entrance of wheelchair players by referring to this opinion by the time of production.
