Hewett and Reid Advance to Wheelchair Doubles Semis

British pair Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have secured their place in the semi-finals of the men's wheelchair doubles at the French Open, continuing their pursuit of a seventh straight title in the event. The duo delivered a dominant performance in the quarter-finals, dismantling France’s Frederic Cattaneo and Brazil’s Daniel Rodrigues with a scoreline of 6-0, 6-2.

Currently 28 and 34 years old respectively, the top-seeded pair demonstrated their form in Paris by reaching the final in all four Grand Slam tournaments this year. They claimed victories at the Australian Open and the French Open, although their campaign in Melbourne ended in a semi-final exit.

The British team boasts an impressive record at Roland Garros, having remained unbeaten in doubles play since suffering a semi-final defeat in 2019.

In other action on the court, Hewett successfully navigated to the singles last eight on Tuesday, while his partner Reid was eliminated from the singles draw by Japan’s defending champion, Tokito Oda.

Meanwhile, the quad singles quarter-finals saw both Andy Lapthorne and Greg Slade exit the tournament in straight sets. Lapthorne fell to second seed Niels Vink of the Netherlands, losing 6-3, 6-2. Slade, competing as a wildcard, was defeated 6-0, 6-0 by Turkey’s Ahmet Kaplan.
