Wheelchair singles draws out for the Aus Open

Quad - qualies - Greg Slade plays Q1, Leandro Pena from Brazil
Womens - qualies - Cornelia Oosthuizen is Q2 and plays Charlotte Fairbank of South Africa

Quad singles main draw - Andy Lapthorne is unseeded and has drawn a qualifier (the qualies is a 4 player draw and one win takes a player through)

Womens singles - Lucy Shuker was a wildcard and has drawn a fellow non seed in Montjane of South Africa

Mens singles - Gordon is unseeded and plays a tough opener against Belgiums former champ Joachim Gerard. Alfie is seeded 2 and also has a tough opener versus Frenchman, Stephane Houdet - Houdet is 54 and may well be the oldest player taking park in any event at this AO?

 Both the Brits in qualies lost in straight sets. 
Main draw singles begins tomorrow. 
Doubles draws out as well, include Alfie/Gordon (top seeds), Andy with Sam Shroder (second seed) and Lucy will also be playing ( womens doubles draw not posted yet)

Opening round singles and well done to Gordon, winning in three sets, and Andy who wins in straight sets

Alfie also won in straight sets.

Lucy at 3 all final set versus Montjane- Montjane is ranked a fair bit higher than Lucy so a win would be a great result for her.

After a good fight, Lucy went down. Still, a solid start for the Brits with three wins out of 4

All singles and doubles players in action tomorrow: last 8 of each event

Quad singles - Andy plays second seed Niels Vink - Vink is almost certainly too strong for Andy

Quad doubles - Andy and Sam Schroder (seeded 2) play Cayulef and Lazarte

Womens doubles - Lucy and Kamiji (seeded 2) play Cabrillana and Takimuro

Mens singles - Alfie (Seeded 2) plays Spaargaren; Gordon (unseeded) plays Gustavo Fernandez (seeded 4)

Mens doubles - Alfie and Gordon (seeded 1) play Arai and Miki

We should hope to win all the doubles and Alfie win his singles, disappointing if we dont. Gordon has a chance but will be big underdog and Andy will be a big, big underdog!

Results in singles as expected:

Alfie won 0 and 0 and into the semis; looks impressive although Oda looks equally so.

Gordon took Fernandez to 3 sets in a good effort.

In quad singles, Vink beat Andy for the loss of 2 games.

So the mens singles semis with our only surviving player:

Oda v de la Puente

Fernandez v Hewett

In quad doubles, Andy and Sam Schroder won 5-7 7-5 12-10 and make the quad semis. Andy is defending his title from last year.

Alfie/Gordon and Lucy still to come in doubles later

And Lucy + close it out.

So left in, all at semis stage:

Mens singles - Alfie
Mens doubles - Alfie and Gordon
Womens doubles - Lucy
Quad doubles - Andy

Which is totally in line with seedings. In wheelchair tennis, there are always less upsets than the main draw events, partly depth being the issue but also partly the immense capability of the very top players. Nonetheless, youve got to live up to the seeding, so well done to all so far.

Good day so far-

Mens singles - Alfie won 3 and 3 over Fernandez and plays Oda in the final

Mens doubles - Alfie and Gordon won 4 and 4 and play unseeded Caverzaschi (Spain) and Houdet (France) in the final

Quad doubles - Andy and Sam Schroder won 1 and 2 and play top seeds Sasson (Israel) and Vink (NL) in the final

Lucy is currently 5 all first set in her doubles semi.

Lucy + lost that opening set 7-5 and fallen quickly 4-0 down in the second, so not looking like it will happen for them.

 For the finals , Oda looks like he is in sparkling form, so Alfie will face a real uphill battle and be a decent sized underdog. Andy and Sam are second seeds but Sasson and Vink will go in as clear favourites. Alfie and Gordon, though, will be clear favourites in the mens doubles final, heavy favourites against the unseeded pair. Alfie and Gordon, as often the case, are probably our best chance of a title, alongside Henry and Harri in the main draw mens doubles

And Lucy + did sadly lose their semi.

So, just the three finals to follow, not quite sure what the schedule is and if all take place tomorrow- will find out later, when the schedule is posted.
