It's a while since Alfie got the win over Tokito - this tourno a year ago I think, so very done to Alfie smile Didn't realise that Tokito is still only 17!

All our womens singles lost today. So that is over and out.

Gordon and Alfie, however, won mens singles

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Andy lost in 3 sets in the Quads singles QF - he played second seed Sam Shroder, so decent effort

Alfie and Gordon both won their last 16 matches, both as expected. They are both playing last 8 mens singles matches as I type and scores are:

(2) Hewett 4 - 3 Sanada (8)

(5) Reid 5-7 6-6 Oda (1)

Strong performance by Gordon against Oda, he is 3-0 up in the second set tie break

And Gordon takes the second set - all to play for, come on Gordon!
