Andy won his second round robin match in the quad singles over Lazarte in straight sets. It now means he plays Kaplan of Turkey in his last RR match and the winner will go to the semis.

Gordon playing now and is early in his match at 2 all, first set, versus Spaargaren.

And Gordon wins, that is a decent win for him and takes him to 1-1 in the group.

He will play Fernandez last, Fernandez is playing Oda shortly and probably will end up with an Oda win and Gordon and Gustavo going head to head for the semis place.

Meanwhile, Alfie is a set down to de la Puente. Come on Alfie

Alfie turns it around and wins in 3 sets - and with Houdet beating Ratzlaff, Alfie is assured of a semis place.

He still has Ratzlaff to play in his final RR match. His semi will be against the winner of Gordon and Fernandez (Fernandez is about to lose to Oda).

Andy and partner Heath Davidson are a set up on Kaplan and Schroder but 1-4 down second set. Andy and Heath are CR10, Kaplan and Schroder CR11, so a tight match was always on the cards. Winning is vital though as it will assure an easier semifinal match up

Well done Andy and Heath - they took the MTB 10-8, real battle and they move into the semis. Their group matches are done now, so Andy can focus on his singles final RR decider with Kaplan tomorrow.

Good day for the Brits today, 4 wins out of 4.

Good work, team!

Wednesday features Alfie and Gordon, and Andy, in their final round robin matches.

Must win battles for Gordon and Andy. Win though and both will get through.

Alfie and Gordon also play their doubles but I think they are through anyway, as the group is just 2 pairs.

In his quad final group match, Andy lost quite comprehensively to Kaplan and is out of the singles as a result.

Alfie beat Ratzlaff and duely tops his group into the semis. There he will play the winner of Gordon or Gustavo Fernandez. Gordon has started brilliantly and won the opening set 7-5, leading 5-4 second set and serving for the match. Fingers crossed Gordon can get this over the line!

And Gordon sees it through, 7-5 6-4! Thats a great win, a seeding upset on clay, well done Gordon!!

And we have an all British mens semifinal, Alfie versus Gordon.

The other semi is Tokito Oda versus Martin de la Puente. Oda and Alfie will be favourites but look out for Gordon!

Gordon has won the last couple of times over Fernandez, in Mallorca recently via a retirement but in Paris two weeks ago. They have now played 66 times with Fernandez having a slight 35-31 edge. Quite the rivalry.

Alfie and Gordon have played 49 times, 35-14 for Alfie, including a 3 set win in the same Paris event.

Alfie and Gordon won their doubles/ they top their group (mmm) as a result and enter the last 4.

The other group still has two days of play left, so presumably semis will be Saturday.

Just one match of British interest tomorrow - Greg Slade and Jin Woodman play Kaplan and Schroder in the final quad RR match - winner goes to the semis and loser goes out. Being honest, hard to see Greg and Jin winning, but you never know.

Overall status:

Men's singles - Alfie and Gordon into the semis and play each other on Friday. Guaranteed British finalist. Oda v de La Puente in the other

Quad singles - Andy out with a 1-2 RR record.

Men's doubles - Alfie and Gordon top spot in their 2 team group and into the semis. Opponents unknown. Most likely the semis will be on Saturday as the other group has one RR match tomorrow and one final one on Friday.

Quad doubles - Greg/Jin play winner takes all RR match versus Kaplan and Schroder. Andy/Heath are into the semis and await their opponents to be determined.

All of the singles and doubles semis take place tomorrow

Turns out the mens doubles groups did get finished today, I missed a score on day one.

With all semis tomorrow, I think the plan will be to have doubles finals Saturday and then singles finals Sunday, although that isnt entirely clear!!

A big well done to Andy and Heath, won their quad doubles semi 10-5 in the match tie break and move into the final. Opponents yet to be determined.

In the quad singles, Israels Guy Sasson upset Niels Vink and plays Sam Shroder in the final.

Alfie playing Gordon in the mens semis, 7-5 3-3 at the moment, Tokito Oda won the other at a canter. He looks hard to beat, to be honest, some of his play would stand up on an able bodied court.

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

And Alfie took the match 7-5 6-3 versus Gordon and duly into the final with Oda.

I believe that will be on Sunday, with Andy/Heath and , hopefully, Alfie/Gordon in their quad and mens doubles finals, respectively. tomorrow.

Firstly, after a suitable rest, the mens doubles semis have to be played later today.
