The mens singles final will be tomorrow, schedule yet to be released. Alfie v Oda should be a real battle.

All 3 finals contain top versus second seed match ups.

As the BBC say, Alfie and Gordon take their 6th straight AO title, and 22nd Slam doubles title as a pair.

Andy wins his 2nd consecutive AO title, 3rd in 4 years, and 8th overall at the AO - and 16th slam doubles title of his career.

Alfies singles final is third on court (KIA Arena) after the quad and womens singles finals. Estimated as around 3.20 am - suspect it will be a little later as the matches at this level have the chance to be long battles.

Great results for Andy, Alfie and Gordon!

(Thanks for championing the wheelchair events, Jon. I read along, even if I don't comment often.)

Video of winning point in the doubles final- great point

If youre not sure about wheelchair tennis, this point shows what it can be like. Dont compare it to able bodied tennis - its different, but no less exciting or spectacular and athletic to watch.

Alfie didnt lose a set, and only 20 games, across his 4 matches to win this event. Really impressive work - beat Houdet, Spaargaren, Fernandez and Oda to do that. The world ranked 9, 7, 4, 1 respectively.
