It may have been asked before, but it occurred to me while I was reading the Alfie Hewett saga: can able-bodied people play wheelchair tennis? I assume that they are not allowed to compete (or the Alfie Hewett saga wouldn't have been a saga), but why not?

No, but one of the French players suggested they should a few years ago I remember.
