Alfie Hewett, Gordon Reid and Andy Lapthorne all came through deciding match tie-breaks to reach wheelchair doubles finals at Roland Garros.

Hewett and Reid staged an inspired comeback to defeat Argentina’s Gustavo Fernandez and Stephane Houdet 3-6, 6-2, 10-8 in an hour and 12 minutes.

The British duo will star in a sixth French Open final since 2017 as they aim for a fifth successive title together in Paris.

Three breaks in the second set from the top seeds signalled a shift in momentum after a tight opener. A comeback was required again in the deciding match tie-break with the Brits overturning a 4-2 deficit to eventually see out a hard-fought win on their third match point.

In the final, they will play familiar rivals in second seeds Tokito Oda and Takuya Miki.

Lapthorne is through to his fourth Roland Garros quad wheelchair doubles final as he and Israel’s Guy Sasson defeated Robert Shaw and David Wagner 6-2, 3-6, 10-2.

Reigning champion Lapthorne is aiming to win his third French Open doubles title in only his first event playing with Sassson.

After a dominant opening set from the second seeds, Shaw and Wagner clinched a crucial double break midway through the second set to force the match tie-break.

With a spot in the final on the line, Lapthorne and Sasson won an impressive seven straight points in the breaker before going on to seal victory in an hour and 35 minutes.

Their opponents in tomorrow’s final will be top seeds Sam Schroder and Niels Vink, who beat Heath Davidson and Donald Ramphadi 6-1, 6-3 earlier in the day.

Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk missed out on the chance to clinch their third mixed doubles title as a pair after losing the final to Laura Siegemund and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4, 7-5.

The German, French duo had their foot on the accelerator from the off, winning six of the first seven points of the match to find an immediate break on the fourth seeds' serve.

Despite being on the backfoot, Skupski and Krawcyzk dug their heels in to try and claw back to level terms but struggled to convert any of their seven break point opportunities in the opener, as their opponents saw out the set unscathed.

Into the second set and the two-time Wimbledon titleholders recovered from another early setback in what looked to be a turning point in the match. However, after four consecutive breaks it was Siegemund and Roger-Vasselin who eventually prevailed to seal their first major title together on their second championship point.

Alfie Hewett’s bid to reach a fifth French Open final and an 18th Grand Slam final came to an end after a two hour and 39-minute semi-final marathon against world No.3 Gustavo Fernandez, with the Argentinian progressing 7-5, 6-7(1), 6-2.

Hewett had beaten Fernandez from a set and 2-0 down to lift the first of his three French Open men’s singles titles in 2017 and had won three of the five semi-finals they had contested in Paris over the last five years.

However, despite taking a 3-1 lead early in the opening set of their latest contest, Hewett again had to come from a set down, producing an array of stunning winners as he dominated a second set tie-break. But a seven-minute game deep into the final set went the way of Fernandez as the third seed opened up what would turn out to be a decisive 5-2 lead.

Hewett and doubles partner Gordon Reid will contest their men’s doubles semi-final on Friday as the top seeds continue their bid for a fifth successive title at Roland Garros

Elsewhere, Lucy Shuker and Colombia's Angelica Bernal were unable to dethrown the reigning women's wheelchair doubles champions, losing 6-3, 7-5 to Kgothatso Montjane and Yui Kamiji in the quarter-finals.

Playing just their fourth tournament together, Shuker and Colombia’s Angelica Bernal recovered from 4-0 and 5-1 down to retrieve one of the service breaks against them in the opening set and then battled back from 2-0 down in the second set to lead 4-3.

However, Kamiji and Montjane’s greater experience as a partnership eventually proved vital as the reigning French Open and US Open champions closed out the win.

It was a successful day for Britain’s Neal Skupski and America’s Desirae Krawczyk after reaching their first Roland Garros mixed doubles final, defeating the reigning Australian Open champions, Hsieh Su-wei and Jan Zielinski 6-1, 6(2)-7, [10-4].

The chasm between the two opposing sides laid bare in the opening set as the British, American duo got off to a blistering start.

However, Hsieh and Zielinksi raised their game in the second, galloping towards an eventual tie-break that would fall in the favour of the Taiwanese, Polish duo.

Despite losing their advantage, Skupski and Krawczyk seized every opportunity in the deciding 10-point tie-break to follow, breaking away and clinching the victory in one hour and 38 minutes.

Doubles

Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram exit the quarter-finals of the men’s doubles after suffering a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 defeat to this season’s Buenos Aires champions, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori.  

Salisbury and Ram comfortably stormed through the opening set with a cushioning double-break lead to put them in good stead.

However, the Italian duo forged ahead in the second, creating greater chances on their first serve, and dialling down the unforced errors to earn the crucial break that would eventually help them to the set.  

Salisbury and Ram were first to ask questions in the decider, but it was Bolelli and Andrea who capitalised, breaking to love after fending off an impressive four break points. The eleventh seeds went on to seal their place in the semi-finals after one hour and 58 minutes of play.  

Wheelchair 

World No.1 Alfie Hewett defeated compatriot Gordon Reid 6-0, 6-4 in an all-British head-to-head, their third French Open quarter-final since 2018.

Reid, who will join Hewett in the men’s wheelchair doubles quarter-final later today, struggled to stem the flow as the top seed ploughed ahead and left little room for error early on.  

Yet, a rare double fault from Hewett in the opening game of the second led to a breakthrough for Reid as he simultaneously earned his first break and game of the match, bolstering his performance as he went on to produce successive holds.

Despite Reid settling into the match, the three-time Roland Garros champion eventually sealed the victory in one hour and 14 minutes, booking his seventh Roland Garros semi-final since his debut in 2018.  

Hewett will face the victor of the quarter-final clash between four-time Grand Slam champion, Argentina’s Gustavo Fernandez, and America’s Casey Ratzlaff.

Top seeds, Hewett and Reid also continue their campaign in the doubles after a comfortable 6-2, 6-0 victory over dutch duo Tom Egberink and Maikel Scheffers.

The two Brits will now face the winner of the clash between Gustavo Fernandez and Stephane Houdet, and Takashi Sanada and Ruben Spaargaren.

Quad 

Andy Lapthorne lost 6-1, 6-3 to three-time Grand Slam champion, Sam Schroder, in the opening round of the Quad wheelchair singles.

Lapthorne’s clay court campaign continues in the doubles, partnering Greece’s Guy Sasson as they contend against experienced duo David Wagner and Robert Shaw.

Neal Skupski will play in his first-ever Roland Garros semi-final after he and partner, Desirae Krawczyk, defeated China’s Shuai Zhang and El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo 7-6(6), 6-4 in the mixed doubles.

Both sides went toe-to-toe in the opening set as they sprinted towards a tie-break, successfully remaining on serve throughout. But it would be Skupski and Krawcyzk who would ultimately have the edge over their opponents, regaining their initial mini-break lead after fending off set point to clinch the advantage.

A couple of games of controversy in the second made for a nail-biting showdown on court 14. Despite the Chinese, El Salvadorian pair trailing 2-1, a disagreement resulting from a call on Zhang’s return spurred them on to earn their first break of the match to keep themselves in contention.

However, Skupski cleverly worked the court as he found holes in Zhang and Arevalo’s defence, showing strength on the return as they pulled away for a second time, eventually sealing the win in one hour and 29 minutes.

Skupski and Krawczyk will now play seventh seeds Su-Wei Hsieh and Jan Zielinski, who knocked out top seeds Ellen Perez and Matthew Ebden in the quarter-finals.

Wheelchair 

Alfie Hewett advances to the quarter-finals after winning 6-1, 6-3 over Belgium’s Joachim Gerard.

The three-time French Open champion blitzed through the opening set, winning four consecutive games before the Belgian found the scoreboard.

Although Gerard dialled up the aggression in the deciding set, the top seed managed to remain in pole position to close out the match in one hour and 13 mins.

Meanwhile, Gordon Reid beat France’s Stephane Houdet 7-5, 6-2 to join Hewett in the quarter-final.

The British No.2 came back from 5-1 down in the first set to win 12 of the last 14 games and complete his victory in one hour and 38 minutes.

Reid and Hewett will go head-to-head in an all-British quarter-finals, their first meeting since their semi-final clash in Rome.

However, it wasn’t to be for Lucy Shuker who exited the first round after losing to China’s Ziying Wang 7-6(4), 6-0. 

Shuker will return in the opening round of the women's wheelchair doubles alongside partner, Colombia's Angelica Bernal, where they'll face top seeds Yui Kamiji and Kgothatso Montjane. 

Four-time Grand Slam champions Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram are into the quarter-finals of Roland Garros for the fourth time after a comfortable win to kick-start day nine in Paris.

Salisbury and Ram beat home favourites and wild cards Gregoire Barrere and Lucas Pouille 6-3, 6-3 in an hour and seven minutes on Court Simonne-Mathieu.

The reigning US Open and Nitto ATP Finals champions will be looking to make the final four for the first time against the winner of Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson vs 11ths seeds Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori.

The British, American duo struck first in both sets, breaking on their opponents' service games and saved three break points from 0-40 down at 4-3 in the second. The pair are still yet to drop a set at the French Open.

However, Henry Patten & Harri Heliovaara have been forced to withdraw from their third round match against 10^th seeds Sander Gilee and Joran Vliegan. 

Mixed doubles

In the British mixed doubles clash, fourth seeds Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk defeated Salisbury and Heather Watson 6-1, 5-7, 10-7 in an hour and 49 minutes.

Skupski and Krawczyk won all four of their break point opportunities in the opening set and held a 2-1 lead with a break early in the second.

However, Salisbury and Watson put up a strong fight – winning the next five consecutive games – and although they were pinned back to 5-5 showed the composure to break Krawczyk again to level the scores.

In the match tie-break, it was the two-time Wimbledon champions who took charge. Once they stretched out to a 7-3 lead, the all-British duo were unable to catch them as they wrapped up the win on their second match point.

On to the quarter-finals now, where they will play China’s Shuai Zhang and El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo.

Doubles action resumed on day eight of Roland Garros, with Britain's Henry Patten and Joe Salisbury reaching the third round of the tournament. 

Patten and Harri Heliovaara overcame fellow Brit Luke Johnson and Skander Mansouri 6-3, 7-5 in a match that spanned across two days due to rain delays.

The two-time ATP titleholders needed just one break in each set to book their spot in the next round, where they'll face either John Peers and Roman Safiullin or 10 seeded Sander Gille and Joran Vligen.

Three-time Roland Garros quarter-finalists Salisbury and Ram also continued their winning start to the tournament, as they defeated Gonzalo Escobar and Aleksandr Nedovyesov 6-4, 6-4 in an hour and 24 minutes.

The third seeds remained strong on serve - facing just one break point across the match and converting both of their opportunities to keep their hopes of a maiden French Open title alive.

Meanwhile, Murray and Venus suffered a second round defeat against wild card duo Gregoire Barrere and Lucas Pouille 6-4, 7-6(6).

After trailing a set, Murray and Venus looked to be on their way to levelling the scoreboard as they took an early 4-1 lead in the second set tie-break. However, the all-French pairing, spurred on by a rowdy home crowd, went on to win seven of the next nine points and cause an upset over the 13 seeds.

In the women's doubles draw, it was the end of the road for Maia Lumsden and Wang Yifan who bowed out to Miyu Kato and Nadiia Kichenok, 6-3, 7-5. The second set saw seven breaks of serve between the two doubles pairs, but it was the Japanese, Ukranian duo who sealed the decisive break to wrap up a straight sets victory.

Mixed doubles

The Brits got their mixed doubles campaigns off to the perfect start with Salisbury, Skupski and Heather Watson all earning first round wins.

Skupski bounced back from defeat in the men's doubles to secure a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Escobar and Shuko Aoyama, alongside American partner Desirae Krawczyk.

The two-time Grand Slam winning champions were broken on their opening service game of the match before shifting the momentum to defeat their opponents in an hour and 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, Salisbury returned to court after his earlier win alongside Watson to claim their first win over Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Fiona Ferro 6-3, 6-4. They'll now go on to face Skupski and Krawczyk in the next round.

After a prominsing start to day seven at Roland Garros in Paris, with Maia Lumsden, Henry Patten, Luke Johnson and Joe Salisbury all getting their second round matches underway.

However, as it has done for a lot of the week, the rain soon settled in before doubles matches were eventually postponed.

Henry Patten, Joe Salisbury, Jamie Murray, Luke Johnson and Maia Lumsden are the first Brits through to the second round at Roland Garros – kickstarting a bumper day of doubles action in Paris.

However, it was the end of the road for Lloyd Glasspool, Julian Cash, Olivia Nicholls, Andy Murray, Dan Evans, Katie Boulter and Heather Watson who all exited in their first round matches.

Teaming up for their first Grand Slam together, Patten and Harri Heliovaara caused an upset over fifth seeds Santiago Gonzalez and Edouard Roger-Vasselin as they clinched a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 win.

The British, Finnish pair who have already picked up two ATP titles on the clay this year broke their experienced partners five times across the two hour and 22 minute match before Patten closed out victory with an ace n their first match point.

Next up, they'll take on Britain's Johnson and Skander Mansouri in the second round.

Johnson sealed his first career Grand Slam victory with Tunisian Mansouri after they beat Romain Arneodo and Sam Weissborn 6-2, 6-4.

The four-time ATP Challenger title-winners began their first round match on Wednesday before rain delays in Paris forced them to return to court on Friday where they successfully saw out a confident performance in straight sets.

Four-time Grand Slam champions Salisbury and Rajeev Ram began their quest for a first French Open title with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Ariel Behar and Adam Pavlasek.

The reigning US Open and Nitto ATP Finals title-holders converted on all three of their break point opportunities to set up a second round clash with either Pablo Carreno-Busta and Sergio Martos Gornes or Gonzalo Escobar and Aleksandr Nedovyesov.

Jamie Murray and Michael Venus got their French Open campaign off to a flying start after they eased past Spanish duo Pedro Martinez and Jaume Munar 6-1, 6-2 in just over an hour.

In the women’s doubles Lumsden got her first main draw win at Roland Garros alongside China’s Yafan Wang – defeating Fang-Hsin Wu and Lin Zhu 6-2, 6-2.

Playing only their first tournament together, the duo broke their opponents seven times in a dominant performance to claim their maiden victory. They will now face 16^th seeds Miyu Kato and Nadiia Kichenok in round two.

Nicholls and Brazilian partner Ingrid Gamarra Martins put up a strong fight against second seeds Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez but eventually ost out 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 in just under two hours.

Boulter and Watson joined forces for the women's doubles but narrowly lost out in a closely-fought battle against Chan Hao-ching and Veronika Kudermetova 6-1, 3-6, 7-5.

Meanwhile in the men's draw, Andy Murray and Evans bowed out in their first round match to fellow singles stars Sebastian Baez and Thiago Seyboth Wild 7-6(6), 7-6(3).

Cash and Robert Galloway lost out in a tight three-set battle against fourth seeds Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek which ended in a 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 defeat.

Glasspool and Jean-Julien Rojer also exited in the first round with a 7-6(3), 6-3 loss against eighth seeds Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni.

Katie Boulter and Dan Evans were knocked out in the first round of the singles draws at Roland Garros after a rainy day in the French capital.

Boulter put in a strong performance before bowing out to former world No.2 Paula Badosa 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 in two hours and eight minutes.

Evans lost in the opening round of the French Open against world No.13 Holger Rune 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the fourth match on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.

After an inconsistent start from the British No.1, Boulter overturned Badosa's early break in the following game from 40-15 down – finishing with a trademark flat forehand winner.

Once Boulter settled into the opening set, she was able to out-muscle the big-hitting Spaniard. The Brit won 13 straight points to seal back-to-back breaks and wrap up the first set in 42 minutes.

The Brit had chances to close out the match after not only taking a 2-0 lead to start the second but then also missing out on three break points at 5-5 before Badosa levelled the scores.

Boulter hit 20 winners in the decider, but after losing a break lead again, there was a sense that momentum began to shift to the Spaniard. Badosa made just six unforced errors compared to Boulter’s 22 in the final set, which proved the difference as the 2021 quarter-finalist eventually broke for a second time at 5-4 in what would be the last game of the match.

Evans came under pressure in only his second service game of the match where he had to negate the Dane’s aggressive returning to stave off two early break points.

The Brit’s variety off both wings caused a lot of problems for Rune in the opening set, but at 4-4 the two-time Roland Garros quarter-finalist found two testing returns against the approaching Evans to take the first break of the match.

The British No.3 stayed focused in the second and held off five break points from the ascending Rune, but on the sixth time of asking, Evans pushed a lob just long to hand a 4-2 and eventually two set advantage to the 13^th seed.

Evans was seemingly rewarded for a solid overall performance against the 2022 Paris Masters champion with his first break in the third as Rune became increasingly frustrated.

Serving for a 5-2 lead, Evans was interrupted by Rune conversing with the Chair Umpire, which seemed to put him off his rhythm. Frustration now shifting to the Brit, it resulted in the former world No.4 reigniting his form from earlier in the match – winning four straight games to complete his victory.

Both Boulter and Evans will return for the women's and men's doubles draws - partnering with fellow Brits Heather Watson and Andy Murray.

Both Cam Norrie and Harriet Dart were defeated in the first round at the French Open having lost tight matches on day two in the French capital.

Norrie became the second Brit in the opening two days at Roland Garros to lose out in five sets as he was defeated by Pavel Kotov 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-2.

Meanwhile, Dart was knocked out in the first round for the second time in her career – losing out to 27th seed Linda Noskova 7-6(3), 6-4.

In a match that saw 11 breaks of serve – Kotov’s weapons from the back of the court eventually pushed him over the line against Norrie in four hours and 13 minutes.

Norrie showed huge grit and physicality to fight back from a break down in three of the first four sets but losing the fourth set tie-break appeared to be the decisive moment for the British No.1.

The 29-year-old overturned a 5-2 deficit in the breaker to reach 5-5 before a low flying bird meant that Norrie had to wait for a long period before arguably his biggest serve of the match. Following that brief loss in momentum, Norrie rattled the net on the following two points to force the decider - putting the Brit’s tie-break record this season to 3-13.

Kotov appeared as if he was completely out of energy at times during the third and fourth sets but found that extra spark in the fifth. His forehand caused Norrie problems all afternoon and the Russian hit an impressive 11 winners in the decider as a double break helped seal his first victory at Roland Garros.

Critical service errors from the British No.2 in big moments defined a match where Dart had her chances to beat Australian Open quarter-finalist Noskova.

Having lost her early break advantage at the start of the opener, Noskova capitalised on a double fault from the Brit in the tie-break to take a 4-1 lead and showed her quality to clinch the first set after 58 minutes.

However, Dart stayed solid to kick-start the second and got her reward after landing an inch-perfect lob to break the world No.29 and get out to an early 2-0 lead.

Dart looked in control of the second playing more solid and consistent tennis to force the mistakes from her opponent, but once again, double faults in big moments let her down.

Back-to-back double faults whilst leading at 4-3 put the pressure right back on the Briton and gave Noskova a lifeline into the set. Then serving to stay in the match, she hit another at 15-30, before Noskova landed a forehand winner to round off the match in an hour and 34 minutes.

The first day of the 2024 Roland Garros saw two British hopefuls knocked out in the opening round as Andy Murray and Jack Draper suffered first round defeats.

A nostalgic battle between two Grand Slam champions in Murray and Stan Wawrinka ended in defeat for the Brit, as the Swiss star clinched a convincing 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 victory.

Competing in their 23^rd career meeting, Wawrinka entered as the dominant force on the clay, having won five out of their six tour-level matches on the dirt.

Stepping onto a packed Phillip-Chartier, it was Wawrinka who came out firing on all cylinders – breaking the two-time Wimbledon champion on his opening service game with an inch perfect backhand down the line to take an early lead.

Despite the set-back Murray refused to let his head drop. The Brit found two break point opportunities of his own, but the 2015 Roland Garros champion continued to fire up his groundstrokes as he batted them away with ease. Murray ran the risk of falling a double break but fought back from 0-40 down to keep the deficit to just a singular break of serve, as Wawrinka eventually closed out the set.

With the Swiss star up two sets to the good against the Briton, the third set unfolded in identical fashion to the first, as he fired another blistering backhand down the line to seal the first break. From then on, the momentum rested entirely with the Swiss star who rattled off the next three games in a row to take a 4-0 advantage and, ultimately, put the match beyond doubt.

This victory marked Wawrinka’s third of the year and he could be set to face British No.1 Cam Norrie in the second round should he win his opener against Paval Kotov on Monday.

Meanwhile, Murray will now switch his focus to the men’s doubles event after he and fellow Brit Dan Evans received a wild card to the main draw.

Meanwhile, Draper also exited Roland Garros in the opening round after losing a five-set epic to qualifier and world No.176 Jesper De Jong 7-5, 6-4, 6-7(3), 3-6, 6-3 in four hours and 12 minutes.

Draper will now turn his attention to the grass court season as he looks set to return to the UK.

De Jong’s forehand and impressive movement helped him secure a pivotal break at 6-5 up in the first set, before the 23-year-old wrapped up four consecutive games from 4-2 down in the second to move one set away from the biggest win of his career.

The writing appeared to be on the wall for Draper after he fell a break behind twice in the third – but the world No.39 refused to let the match out of sight, coming back to force the Dutchman to a tie-break.

The Briton had lost each of his last six tie-breaks, but from 3-3, he overpowered De Jong to take four points on the spin and give himself a lifeline.

The first signs of fatigue began to show for De Jong in the fourth as he rattled the net with a seemingly easy forehand to eventually hand a break and 3-0 lead to Draper before the Brit served out the set following a short rain delay.

In the decider, De Jong surrendered an early 2-0 advantage but a crucial double fault from Draper facing break point at 4-3 gave the Dutch star the chance to see out the win off his serve.
