ITF Wheelchair Tour 2025


Oda has the edge here, 6-4 first set. Alfie needs to dig in although there were signs of that in the second half of the first set.

Still in this.

Alfie has kept tight with Oda since halfway through set one, he's managed to take this second set to a tie break. Come on Alfie!

Oda has served for this twice, and Alfie has broken back twice.
2nd set TB

Not to be - well done to Tokito Oda for taking the title, he is certainly the clay court King, the Paris King at least. But Alfie continues to be a force and defends his Wimbledon title in a few weeks time.

Now, let's just get that customary doubles title, Alfie and Gordon

Alfie and Gordon take the opening set 6-4, 1-3 down second set. Tiredness probably creeping in, although Oda is also playing his second match of the day.

 Great stuff - I assumed for some reason the final was a normal set so stepped away whilst it got going. And it had got gone!

I was a bit surprised by that too, but fortunately had an eye on the score!

6 straight titles is something - their dominance is easy to dismiss but being the best pair ever is such a great achievement

Cornelia Oosthuizen is very near to catching Lucy Shuker as British #1. Lucy loses 100 points from French Open and later Wimbledon in a few weeks time. But she replaces them with counters that will just keep her above Cornelia. However, action soon turns to the grass in Eastbourne, Roehampton and Wimbledon, where both ladies should be playing in all 3 events (they should get Wimbledon wild cards, in a 16 draw, despite not qualifying as of right)

 Their consistency is astonishing in the strongest era for wheelchair tennis. The fact that Stephane Houdet is also playing so well at 54 is also astonishing.
