The Orthotic & Prosthetic Activities Foundation (OPAF) and the First Clinics, along with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) North Carolina, hosted the 2018 Wheelchair Tennis Training and Clinic in conjunction with the Winston-Salem Open tennis tournament at the Wake Forest Tennis Center on August 20. It was the third year for the event, which was coached by Jason Harnett, part of the USTA national coaching staff.

More than 25 participants attended the morning session of on-court training. Each participant received a USTA Wheelchair Tennis teaching manual, and Harnett demonstrated wheelchair tennis skills and drills. More players joined the afternoon clinic session where they worked on serves, ground strokes, and volleys.
