In the Victorian Open, play was abandoned with no shots hit on day one due to the heavy rain in Melbourne.

In the Victorian Open, Alfie won in 3 sets and Gordon in 2, both move to the semis:

Alfie v Gustavo Fernandez
Gordon v Martin de la Puente

In doubles, second seeded Lucy + lost in a shocking QF result 0 and 2; Andy and Greg, seeded top , are 4-6 4-5 down in their QF.

Looks like its been a generally slow start for the GB wheelchair players, Alfie and Gordon apart.

Alfie and Gordon both lost their semis to end what has not been the best of weeks for the Brits down under.

The events ratchet up next week with the Super Series Melbourne Open, before the AO the week after - certainly better to have your poor week at the start; largely the same players move on to the next event, so hopefully our guys have got tighter, fitter and learnt a little and can do better across the piece.
