Mr. Ryotaro Sakaguchi

DOB: December 28th, 2003

Residence: Urayasu, Chiba

Ranked 1st in Japan Wheelchair Tennis Jr. Ranking

Ryotaro suffered a spinal injury in a car accident when he was 2 years old and has been on wheelchair since.  He started playing tennis in 2009 at “Urayasu Junior Tennis Club” founded by his father, Mr. Tsuyoshi Sakaguchi.  Before starting his own club, Tsuyoshi had contacted many local tennis clubs that would accommodate Ryotaro, but no club opened the door because of his disability.  Ryotaro has been winning various junior tournaments for the last few years.  In 2017, Ryotaro made a courtesy visit to Mr. Daichi Suzuki, the commissioner of the Japan Sports Agency as a No.1 junior ranker of the Japan wheelchair tennis.  This will be Ryotaro’s first tournament outside of Japan.
