Alfie is in another three setter doubles - they will need the roof on to finish if it isnt already on- another great experience for Alfie and Gordon. Come on lads

Another amazing match in the mens semis as Alfie and Gordon win 7-6 (7) in the final set on an MTB. Another 3 hours. Alfie has played 6 hours today.

The entertainment has been fabulous and the quality very impressive- and all on court one as well.

Well done Alfie and Gordon and they, Alfie in singles and Andy all play in finals over the weekend.

Can't believe they've put the doubles final on Court 3......

 It does seem strange - the girls singles is on court one and a knockabout vets match, theres ample room for the mens doubles or womens singles final in wheelchair

Winners of singles get £51k. De Groot has won past 9 slams . At that rate
Plus other events she must earn a good few hundred k a year. Not all earn that but thats ok , Id say.

Alfie and Gordon on the brink of losing the doubles final.

Sadly no fight back today.

Onto the singles for Alfie tomorrow.

I imagine Alfie was cooked. Hopefully can regroup for tomorrow!

Alfies final is also on court 3 - which is disappointing and seems a backward step after they played his semi on court one.

Riveting final.
Sadly Alfie lost in a 3rd set MTB. He actually served for it 4 times.
Well done to Kunieda!
Both players incredible

Saw some of the match today at Wimbledon - stunning, skillful, tough tennis in the heat of the day. Tough for the both, but especially Alfie cry
