Alfie and Gordon won their mens doubles semifinal and so are into the final which is tomorrow.

I am trying to find confirmation that Lucy lost her womens doubles semifinal, but draw sheet doesnt seem to show the result...but I saw it yesterday so assume it was correct that she lost that match and is out.

Indeed Lucy and partner did lose their semis.

So we have left in at semis stage, Alfie, Gordon and Andy and , in doubles, Alfie and Gordon In the final.

The singles semis are all today.

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Rain stopped play yesterday. Alfie and Gordons singles start play today, then Andy in his singles and then Alfie and Gordon and the other doubles finals to finish it off.

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Alfie wins his semifinal , destroyed his French opponent, Gordon is ahead 6-5 in his versus the Argentinian. An all Brit final would be fab.

Jan · Hall of fame

Thanks for all the updates Jon!

Thanks Jan - sadly, Gordon lost in 3 sets, so ALfie plays Fernandez in the semis, who won Group B and is also unbeaten.

Andy L plays his quads semi next, not expected to win, and then Alfie and Gordon go in their doubles final!

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Andy lost his quad singles semi.

Leaves Alfie and Gordon playing their doubles final later tonight and Alfie in singles final tomorrow

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

This may be Alfies last ever event as well unless the itf have changed their mind on the rules around his disability

Marvellous, Alfie and Gordon won the mens doubles final. Theyve won all 4 slams and now the Masters for a fantastic year, only missing out on Olympic gold. Today they beat the pair who took gold off them.

Over the season they achieved a record of 16 wins and 1 loss.

This may be their last match together as well, so marvellous result.

Alfie has a singles final tomorrow.
