Yay, well done - and the Alfie and Oda final will be on Sunday.
Commentators said it will be in the morning. I really hope they've got that wrong - I'm not back from church till about 1pm.
I guess they want it done before the mens singles final? Did they say which court it is on? Probably court one, Id love if it got centre court one day but guess they wont risk that with the wheels etc?

I don't think they said which court. I'm sure it won't be centre, yes, most likely Court 1 I'd have thought too.
Don't forget that the main singles finals are scheduled for 4pm, with doubles finals on at the normal start time of 1:00. (Saturday already announced for centre only). I'm sure that the wheelchair events will be on No 1 court, although I'm not sure where the junior finals will be.
The BBC have given the wheelchair events decent coverage this year, my instinct is theyd still want to have it not clash, particularly as a Brit is in the wheelchair final. Even if it is only on iplayer.
Presumably Alfie and Gordons doubles will also be at 11 on court one, avoiding a clash with Julian and Lloyd, at least for most of it. A 2 hour window could actually be tight in mens wheelchair doubles !
Similar to the main tours, the ITF Wheelchair Tour continues with events back on European clay. The Swiss Open starts tomorrow, an ITF series 1 event (same as the British Open the other week) and Cornelia goes in that as our only participant. Cornelia is still just behind Lucy, so a win or two here could be big for her.
Thereafter, we have the series 1 Belgian Open, and the series 1 Austrian Open. The US Open warm up is a series 2 event in Washington and then we are into the US Open in early September.
Thereafter, back on clay and a series 1 event in Sardinia, before the big Super Series French Riviera Open in Antibes at the end of September.
In October, there is a series 1 event in Mallorca at Nadals academy and a series 1 event at the Paris Masters also.
Thereafter year ending Masters isnt showing on the ITF calendar yet, as far as I can see. Google AI says it is Nov 3-9 in the Netherlands, but we will see if it is formally put on the calendar.
