In men's singles action, Alfie wins the first set 6-1; Gordon is down 0-4 to Fernandez.


In the quad doubles bronze match, the South African pair lead the Brazilans 5-1. Given the Dutch despatched the South Africans comfortably (1 and 1), it doesnt bode well for Andy and Greg in their final, but let's see. Either way, the Dutch (Schroder and Vink) will be HOT favourites in that final

Well done, Alfie, a straight sets win and he moves into the semis of the mens singles.

Looks like Gordon won't join him, sadly, although not over yet.

From a medals perspective, the Dutch look likely for 4 golds, we could get 2 (6 in total) with the Japanese being our main rivals for second spot in the medals table

Maybe proving me wrong, Gordon fighting back into a second set tie breaker. Come on Gordon!

Sadly, Gordon went out after a strong second set.

So, Alfie into semis, other singles semis in process - Alfie plays winner of De La Puente or Houdet (the veteran French hero) which is on court now.

After that match, Andy and Greg go in their quad doubles final

Oda won and plays Fernandez in one semi. De la Puente looks like winning the other and being Alfies semis opponent.

The South Africans won the quad doubles bronze match in a MTB, 10-8. First tennis medal of the games goes to them.
