Lucy has also lost, in straight sets, though, for her.

Alfie has started badly and is 3-0 down, but plenty of time.

Vying to be the only singles semifinalist alongside Andy L in the quad event.

Looks like rain has interfered with Alfie's charge?!

I had a quick look at the 7 Slams or Super Series events this year to see who had performed well. Alfie is second best in mens singles, as per rankings, but Gordon is probably 4th or 5th in mens singles, higher than his ranking and so losing today was a shame. Lucy and Andy nowhere in womens and quad!

Interestingly, only 8 women and 8 quad players have made the last 4 of those 7 events played, 11 mens singles players have made the mens last 4's over the year. So a very tight bunch of top players vie for the titles i each big event. Each category has a clear top 2 or 3 though (Oda and ALfie in mens, Fernandez easily third best) but below them , 4th to 8th is a tight secondary bunch. Gordon is in that second bunch, but Lucy and Andy L really dont feature yet at all, which is why Andy's form this week is great to see.

 3-1 ahead now , tough last 8 opponent is Gerard 

Good stuff - so two semifinalists in the mens and quad events respectively

Alfie and Gordon won their mens doubles QF.

Looks like Dermot and Ben are going down heavily though, 6-0 3-0 at the moment. Step up in class...

Alfie and Gordon reach their doubles semi; I think that is now tomorrow , not entirely sure !

Big day today, Alfie goes in singles semis versus de la Puente, then Lucy in doubles final and Alfie and Gordon in their doubles final. Any singles final for Alfie would be tomorrow .

Good luck to all of them
