2023 ITF Wheelchair Tour


Lucy went down in straight sets.

Gordon is down a set, Alfie up and cruising though. But again, the big story is Andy Lapthorne who is leading by a set and up 3-0 in the second versus third seed and doubles partner, Ramphadi.

Massively impressive event so far for Andy, hope he sees this match through

And Gordon wins, a remarkable result. 3 Brits out of 4 into semis. Marvellous.

Gordon also plays fellow unseeded player Stephane Houdet of France in the semis; Alfie plays Argentinian third seed, Fernandez.

In the quad singles semis, Andy plays top seeded Neils Vink .

Doubles starting now.

Alfie and Gordon lost in 2 long sets! Quite a surprise. Both in singles. Players that beat them include Houdet- he has now beaten the singles top seed, Oda, and now the doubles top seeds. Quite a tournie for him! Hes aged 52!

I've just spotted that there's a junior wheelchair event at the US Open. Is this the first time? I don't recall anything before, but maybe I'm just unobservant!

 Just seen that also and I think it is. We have Dahnon Ward in the boys singles and Dahnon with Joshua Johns in the boys doubles. All draws are 4 strong fields , ie 2 rounds of play. Still, good to see. 

when it comes to wheelchair play, Wimbledon is a little way behind still
