Wheelchair singles draws out for the Aus Open

Quad - qualies - Greg Slade plays Q1, Leandro Pena from Brazil
Womens - qualies - Cornelia Oosthuizen is Q2 and plays Charlotte Fairbank of South Africa

Quad singles main draw - Andy Lapthorne is unseeded and has drawn a qualifier (the qualies is a 4 player draw and one win takes a player through)

Womens singles - Lucy Shuker was a wildcard and has drawn a fellow non seed in Montjane of South Africa

Mens singles - Gordon is unseeded and plays a tough opener against Belgiums former champ Joachim Gerard. Alfie is seeded 2 and also has a tough opener versus Frenchman, Stephane Houdet - Houdet is 54 and may well be the oldest player taking park in any event at this AO?


 Both the Brits in qualies lost in straight sets. 
Main draw singles begins tomorrow. 
Doubles draws out as well, include Alfie/Gordon (top seeds), Andy with Sam Shroder (second seed) and Lucy will also be playing ( womens doubles draw not posted yet)

Opening round singles and well done to Gordon, winning in three sets, and Andy who wins in straight sets

Alfie also won in straight sets.

Lucy at 3 all final set versus Montjane- Montjane is ranked a fair bit higher than Lucy so a win would be a great result for her.

After a good fight, Lucy went down. Still, a solid start for the Brits with three wins out of 4

All singles and doubles players in action tomorrow: last 8 of each event

Quad singles - Andy plays second seed Niels Vink - Vink is almost certainly too strong for Andy

Quad doubles - Andy and Sam Schroder (seeded 2) play Cayulef and Lazarte

Womens doubles - Lucy and Kamiji (seeded 2) play Cabrillana and Takimuro

Mens singles - Alfie (Seeded 2) plays Spaargaren; Gordon (unseeded) plays Gustavo Fernandez (seeded 4)

Mens doubles - Alfie and Gordon (seeded 1) play Arai and Miki

We should hope to win all the doubles and Alfie win his singles, disappointing if we dont. Gordon has a chance but will be big underdog and Andy will be a big, big underdog!

Results in singles as expected:

Alfie won 0 and 0 and into the semis; looks impressive although Oda looks equally so.

Gordon took Fernandez to 3 sets in a good effort.

In quad singles, Vink beat Andy for the loss of 2 games.

So the mens singles semis with our only surviving player:

Oda v de la Puente

Fernandez v Hewett
