Roland Garros Live Scores Today: A Day of Triumph and Heartbreak for British Wheelchair Tennis Players

Today was a day of mixed emotions for British wheelchair tennis players at Roland Garros. While some achieved historic victories, others saw their dreams slip away.

In the quad singles event, Andy Lapthorne's hopes of reaching his second French Open final in three years came to an end with a 6-0, 6-0 defeat against world No.1 Niels Vink. Despite extending Vink early in the second set, Lapthorne was unable to penetrate the Dutchman's defenses often enough.

Meanwhile, Lucy Shuker and Dana Mathewson's first Grand Slam together resulted in a disappointing 6-2, 6-1 defeat.

However, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid continued their dominance in wheelchair doubles, lifting their third French Open title together. The duo saved set points in the tie-break to edge ahead and held on for a 7-6(5), 7-6(5) victory over Gustavo Fernandez and Shingo Kunieda.

This win marked Hewett and Reid's tenth consecutive major title, cementing their status as the most successful wheelchair doubles partnership in Roland Garros history.

In other news, Gordon Reid was knocked out of the men's singles by Tokito Oda, while Alfie Hewett lost 6-1, 6-1 to Gustavo Fernandez.

Despite these setbacks, it was a day that will be remembered for the Brits' mental toughness and determination. As they look ahead to future competitions, one thing is certain: British wheelchair tennis players will continue to make their mark on the world stage.
