British wheelchair tennis player Andy Lapthorne says events are being organised by people "who don't have a clue about disability and don't ask us questions".
He was one of a number of players who forced US Open organisers into a U-turn over the inclusion of wheelchair events at this year's tournament after they were initially omitted.
He told the BBC's Stumps, Wheels and Wobblies podcast that ableism - where there is discrimination in favour of non-disabled people - is an issue.
Lapthorne, the winner of 11 Grand Slam titles and the current world number two in the quad division, added: "The reason given to us at the start was that it wasn't thought that people with disabilities would travel in a pandemic, but we as players weren't consulted.
