Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have advanced to the Paralympic wheelchair men’s doubles final after defeating French fourth seeds Frederic Cattaneo and Stephane Houdet 6-4, 6-3. The duo, who are unbeaten at Roland Garros for five years, aim to secure their first Paralympic gold medal after previously finishing with silver in the last two Games.

Their final match will be against Japan's Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda, with Hewett focused on achieving a Golden Slam in singles as well.
