Norfolk's wheelchair tennis star Alfie Hewett was forced to dig deep into his energy levels – and rely on a little help from his friend – as he ensured he will compete for another Wimbledon title today.

Hewett endured a day of mixed emotions, losing in the singles semi-finals before exacting revenge over his opponent hours later in the doubles.

That player was Gustavo Fernandez with the Argentine world number one coming from a set down to initially deny Hewett the chance to bid for individual success when he won 4-6, 7-6, 6-3.

But while facing the same man on the opposite side of the net later in the afternoon may have been tough – especially when Hewett conceded the second set again to go into a decider - the Brit was able to pull through thanks in no small part to his doubles partner Gordon Reid.

'Physically that was a real tough match for myself. I wanted to fight for every ball and with Gordon as a team-mate he made it easier for me,' said Hewett, after the pair triumphed 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 over Fernandez and Shingo Kunieda in a little over two hours.

'I was gutted after the singles match, I felt like I had a lot of chances in the second set to go on and win.

'I was tired, low on energy and I did have a few doubts going into the match, but Gordon is such a great team-mate and he showed a lot of energy on the court. Once the adrenalin kicked in I was fine.

'When we conceded the second set, I did start to doubt myself again and question whether I had the energy and whether I would be able to do it. But Gordon was really helpful and I'd say in the third set we played some of the best tennis we've ever played together. I was really pumped.'

Hewett and Reid face French pair Stephane Houdet and Nicolas Peifer in today's final.

'We haven't got the best record against them but we are unbeaten on the grass,' added Reid.
