Roland Garros 2025: Wheelchair draws announced with Alfie Hewett & Gordon Reid in the same half
• 1 MINUTE READ
The draws have been announced for the wheelchair tennis events at Roland Garros with three British stars set to compete for silverware.
Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid will face Alexander Cataldo of Chile and Nicolas Charrier of France, respectively, when the French Open men’s wheelchair singles draw gets underway in Paris on Tuesday, with Andy Lapthorne set to meet Canadian wild card entry Robert Shaw when the quad singles draw begins on Wednesday.
Playing at Roland Garros for the ninth successive year, having won the men’s singles title on his debut in 2017 and then again in 2020 and 2021, world No.2 Hewett is drawn to meet doubles partner and two-time singles finalist Reid in the men’s singles quarter-finals this year, providing both Brits negotiate their opening matches safely.
Hewett and Reid open their bid for a sixth successive men’s doubles title with a quarter-final against Cataldo and Israel’s Sergei Lysov later this week.
Lapthorne is playing at the French Open for the sixth successive year, having reached the quad singles final on his debut in Paris in 2020 and the semi-finals in 2021. The world No.5 will play Shaw at a Grand Slam tournament for just the second time in three years as he bids to go beyond the quad singles quarter-finals for the first time in four years.
Lapthorne and Dutchman Sam Schroder, the reigning Australian Open champions, will open their quad doubles campaign in Paris against Turkey’s Ahmet Kaplan and Donald Ramphadi of South Africa.
