Good win for Gordon in the mens last 8. If Alfie wins, they will meet in the semis.

Lucy lost her singles semi.

 And Alfie did win, against Spaargaren, the local Dutch player. Alfie v Gordon in the semis.

Surprise loss for Alfie and Gordon in the doubles semis to home pair Egberink and Sheffers. Hardly ever lose! Well done to the Dutch pair.

Well done to Alfie, comfortably won the final.



He and Oda are clearly the top 2 by a long way; now he needs to work out how to tame Oda!

And Greg Slade won the singles title in Bolton - he was unseeded (ranked 17th in world, 4th seed was 16th and top seed was 10th) and overcame that strong field to triumph, well done to Greg!!



Still to play the doubles final later

The second Bolton event starts today and this is an ITF Series 2 event, with an altogether higher level of entrants appearing. Updates as the week progresses.

In the Bolton ITF2 event, Lucy Shuker progressed to womens singles last 8, as did Andy Lapthorne and Greg Slade in the quad singles. Andy and Greg face off next and it will be interesting to see if Greg can continue his strong form against a top player.

Ben Bartram is the last mens singles contender and has also moved to the last 8.

As posted in wrong thread before.

Alfie and Gordon playing an event in Rio this week alongside the mens 500 event and play each other in the final today.

It is just on the ATP app, but like Rotterdam last week just the schedule and live scores not results. Alfie played Kunieda and Gordon a Brazilian. Looks like Alfie split sets and then Kunieda conceded. Just a 4 player draw, I think.

 Thanks Wolf. Itll be an exhibition as you suggested; Kunieda is now officially retired and the most decorated player ever. I think he won the Rio paralympics title, so that is probably why he is there. Not sure if he is playing other exhibition stuff, but I guess 2 sets did for him fitness wise!

 Looks like Alfie and Gordon match up in the effective final today
