Alfie Hewett secured his place in Friday’s final after registering a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 win over Spain’s Martin de la Puente to keep home hopes alive.

Commenting on both his and the Spaniards performance, Hewett said: "Martin’s a great player and we’ve had a lot of battles recently. He’s a top player, so I’m just glad to get through.

I felt like in those matches every point is so important and you just want to get as many points on the board and hopefully they turn into games.

"He did that really well in the second but I rallied and was strong in the third."

De La Puente, who won six sets 6-0 on his road to Thursday’s semi-final, produced a convincing start to earn a 3-1 lead, but an eventual double fault from the Spaniard gifted Hewett the return in a game indicative of the impending momentum shift.

Hewett’s eventual one-set lead was short-lived, however, as the 30-time ITF champion de la Puente this time clutched at his early advantage to call for a decider.

A well-defended opening service game to follow bolstered the British No.1’s morale as he regained the upper hand for the first time since the first set.

De la Puente still had some fight in him yet as he was able to recover all breaks against him to level, but the seven-time Grand Slam champion leveraged his experience to get over the line upon his first of two eventual match points.

Only Gustavo Fernandez now remains between the 26-year-old and what would be his third British Open title.

"[The final] will be a very similar to the one I’ve just faced," said Hewett as he looked to his meeting with the Argentine. 

"[Fernandez] hits big and doesn’t give you much time on the ball. The British Open is such an iconic event so it would be great to defend it, it would also give me so much confidence going into next week."

However, Gordon Reid’s recent winning streak against Fernandez came to an end after the Argentine won 6-4, 6-4 to reach the men’s singles final.

Fernandez just had the edge in a match strewn with service breaks on a blustery day in Roehampton.

The 2023 runner-up Reid did save three match points, twice with a kind net cord but Fernandez would soon secure the win with the first and only ace of the match.

Quad

Andy Lapthorne retired from a set and 2-1 down in the second in his quarter-final meeting with world No.1 Sam Schroder.

We will now have an all-Dutch quad singles final as world No.2 Niels Vink won in straight-sets to join countryman Schroder on Friday.

Schroder and Vink also lifted the quad doubles title after walkover win over Lapthorne and Guy Sasson.

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid continue to ride the crest of the wave in Roehampton after earning their place in the semi-finals, while Dahnon Ward made a quarter-final exit.

Hewett defeated 18-year-old Ward 6-0, 6-0 to secure his seventh successive win in six days, following on from his victory at the inaugural Rothesay International Eastbourne last week.

The pair’s first meeting saw the world No.2 capture a whitewash victory over compatriot Ward, leveraging his experience to deliver the win in 38 minutes.

“[My game] is progressing nicely,” said Hewett.

“It’s been quite a quick transition from clay court to grass but I feel like I’ve adapted quite well so far, and it’ll be another tough test tomorrow against Martin or Joachim.”

The 2023 US Open Juniors Wheelchair champion Ward showcased glimpses of  the impeccable shots in his arsenal, but it wasn’t enough to match the 63-time Tour-level champion who produced a watertight performance to progress to the semi-finals.

Speaking on his opponent’s performance on the grass, Hewett said: “He’s obviously still quite new to the grass and I remember when I first started and its quite different from what you know after all the years of training on hard and the clay. He’s obviously got plenty of years ahead, so make sure you get some time on it [the surface].”

Reid also booked his place in the semi-finals after beating Tom Egberink 6-3, 6-2, taking his unbeaten winning streak against the Dutchman to 22-0.

After claiming the opening set in just over 40 minutes, the 2023 runner-up continued to accelerate towards the finish line, winning four consecutive games to comfortably close out the match in two.

“I’m happy to come through in straight sets,” said the former Wimbledon champion.  

“Tom is a tricky player, especially on grass with his game style. After a tight start I’m happy I was able to start strong in the second set.”

In the doubles, Ben Bartram and Spain’s Daniel Caverzaschi move into the men’s doubles semi-finals after a 6-0, 6-0 win over Pakistan’s Asif Abbasi and India’s Manojkanth Somasundaram.

Quad

Andy Lapthorne and Israel's Guy Sasson move into the quad doubles final after beating Heath Davidson and Ahmet Kaplan 7-5, 6-2.

Lapthorne and Sasson will now play top seeds Sam Schroder and Niels Vink, who earlier knocked out Gary Cox and Greg Slade in their semi-final clash.

Reigning champion Alfie Hewett, last year’s runner-up Gordon Reid and Dahnon Ward all won in straight-sets to progress to the men’s quarter-finals, while Andy Lapthorne went the distance to continue his tilt for the title in the quads.

Defending champion Hewett continues his campaign to lift what could be his third British Open title after beating Maikel Scheffers of the Netherlands 6-2, 6-4.

The 26-year-old, who clings on to his eight-year unbeaten record against the Dutch star, came through the opening set relatively unscathed, despite Scheffers retrieving one of the three eventual breaks made against him.

Hewett, again, constructed a healthy 3-1 lead in the second, but the two-time British Open champion Scheffers found his momentum to recover and equalise with three games apiece.

But signs of a vintage Hewett began to resurface as the world No.2 kept Scheffers at bay to win their first encounter on the grass.

Reid eased through to the next round thanks to his 6-3, 6-0 win over Spain’s Daniel Caverzaschi, a player he is unbeaten against in eight career matches to date.

The British No.2 sped to a 3-0 lead early in the match, but a comfortable hold from the Spaniard prefaced a high-octane opener as he proceeded to earn two break points of his own to level the scoreline.

Multiple British Open finalist Reid once again regained his one-break buffer, but Caverzaschi continued to frustrate, forcing the Brit to save break points before he eventually secured the advantage at the hand of a sensational acute cross-court forehand.

Reid’s seized complete control in the decider, producing a watertight bagel set to win in two.

Meanwhile, British No.4 Ward joins Hewett and Reid in the men's last eight after beating fellow Brit Robert Teague 6-2, 6-2.

Abbie Breakwell produced a commendable performance against the 2020 French Open finalist Momoko Ohtani.

Breakwell took the world No.6 to three sets but eventually Ohtani prevailed 6-1, 3-6, 6-2, while Lucy Shuker lost 6-1, 6-2 to world No.5 Zhenzhen Zu.

Quad

The 2022 British Open quad singles champion Lapthorne earned his third win over Australia’s Heath Davidson at the British Open in three years following his 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 quarter-final victory.

The Briton successfully sealed the match in three despite signs of a Davidson comeback in the penultimate set, reversing the result of the inaugural Rothesay International quad singles final last week to secure his first grass win against the Australian.

However, Greg Slade wasn’t to encounter the same result after exiting the tournament, losing out to world No.2 and reigning British Open quad singles champion Niels Vink of the Netherlands.
