Action in the wheelchair tennis reached its culmination at the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre, though no medals were awarded as it is not a formal medal sport at the Invictus Games. 

In Pool A, Vanessa Bawden-Pere and Jules Bramley of New Zealand lost to Jelle van der Steen and Ronald van Dort of The Netherlands 6-2, 6-1, while in Pool B America's Chance Field and Brian Anthony Williams defeated Australia's Trudi Lines and Stewart Sherman 6-3, 6-3.
