British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

The draws are out for the wheelchair events at Wimbledon, as follows:

Ladies - singles

Cornelia Oosthuizen plays French Chasteau, who did so well at the FO.

Lucy Shuker plays Chinese third seed, Li.

It will be tough for both of them but, should they spring surprises, they will meet in the QF round

Ladies - doubles

Lucy partners South African, Montjane and they play Chasteau and Griffioen (NL)

Cornelia partners Bernal and they play 2nd seeded Li and Wang of China

Mens - singles

Gordon Reid has drawn top seeded Japanese, Oda. Ouch

Ben Bartram plays another Japanese, Miki. Ben beat Miki at Eastbourne just the other week and so will be confident he can replicate that.

Andrew Penney plays Ter Hofte from the NL

Alfie Hewett, seeded 2, plays Egberink of the NL

Mens - doubles

Alfie and Gordon play Egberink and Ter Hofte

Ben partners singles opponent, Miki, and they play Houdet and Ji. Should they win, they will play Alfie and Gordon in the semis

Andrew plays with Israeli, Lysov, against Oda and Fernandez

Quad - singles

Greg Slade plays top seeded Dutch player, Vink

Andy plays Argentine, Lazarte

Quad - doubles

Andy and Greg partner each other and play Schroder (NL) and Woodman (AUS), the second seeds

Looking at the draws, hope to see opening wins for Alfie and Andy L in singles, with Ben and Andrew Penney having a chance of an upset.

In doubles, Alfie/Gordon will win, and Lucy + and Ben + could both get wins.

Rest look hard!! Very hard!

Ben went down 4 and 4 to Miki, he will be disappointed with that although in line with rankings

Alfie rounded off the men's first round matches with a straight sets win over Egberink and moves into the last 8.

Men's first round complete and QF draw is:

Oda (1) v Miki

de la Puente (3) v Andrew Penney (WC)

Ratzlaff v Fernandez (4)

Ji v Alfie Hewett (2)

And Lucy goes down 1 and 3 to Li. Which means our WC women's singles event is all done and dusted on day one, sadly.

Quad event will start tomorrow, as will the mens and womens doubles events

Andrew Penney and partner lost their men's doubles QF match. Ben is in action , they are a set down.

Quad singles - Andy L plays Sam Schroder, 2nd seed, from NL in the semis.

 Lucy came through her womens doubles quarterfinal in 3 sets, well done! Into the semis where she and Montjane play top seeded Kamiji and Zhu. Cornelia + lost.

Andrew Penney lost his quarterfinal to de la Puente, comfortably, but should be pleased at getting his first round win.

Alfie on court currently against Ji and is a set and 2-0 up.

Oda is similarly leading, Fernandez won and joins de la Puente as the first two into the mens singles semis.
