Alfie and Gordon set up first all-Brit Grand Slam wheelchair tennis semi at US Open

Alfie is through to the semi's at the US Open

Norfolk's Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have added to their growing list of historic achievements at the US Open when they set up the first all-Brit men’s singles wheelchair tennis semi-final at a Grand Slam.

Reid and Hewett will go head-to-head in Saturday’s semi-final, with a British player from the Tennis Foundation’s Wheelchair Tennis World Class Programme guaranteed a place in the men’s singles final in New York for the first time.

Later in the day Reid and Hewett will be on the same side of the net when they contest the men’s doubles final.

The two Brits both won three-set quarter-finals in New York as world No. 2 Reid reached his second US Open singles semi-final since 2013 and world No.3 Hewett booked his place in the last four on his debut at the final Grand Slam of the year.

Hewett came from 3-1 down to level both of the first two sets of his quarter-final against former world No.1 and six-time US Open champion Shingo Kunieda of Japan at 4-4. Hewett saved four set points in the opening set before going on to serve out the second set and force the decider.

The 19-year-old Roland Garros champion then forged into a 5-2 lead in the deciding set before wrapping up a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory.
