Is that the first set in the bag? Not quite but Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have broken again to move to within one game of the set.

Reid points to his partner after wrapping up the break. They will now serve for the set.

A real guttural roar from Alfie Hewett as he and Gordon Reid fight off two break points to maintain their first-set advantage.

It's exhausting watching some of these rallies, goodness knows how the players feel.

Incidentally, it's very, very unlikely that this will match the length of the Tokyo 2020 doubles final featuring Reid and Hewett. That took three hours and 25 minutes but was played over three full sets.

A final set here will be a first-to-10 match tie-break.

• GB's Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl won the Para-cycling women's B road race, with team-mates Lora Fachie and Corinne Hall taking bronze behind Ireland's Katie-George Dunlevy and Linda Kelly.
• That was GB's third gold on day nine after Sarah Storey and Ben Sandilands won quick-fire gold medals on Friday morning.
• Storey, 46, won the C4-5 women’s road race to claim her 19th career Paralympic gold, edging out France’s Heidi Gaugain at the finish.
• Sandilands, 21, set a new world record in the men's T20 1500m final to win on his Paralympic debut.
• Elsewhere in Para-athletics, Marcus Perrineau-Daley won silver in the men’s T52 100m final.
• In Para-table tennis, Robert Davies won silver in the MS1 event.

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are under immense pressure on their serve as the Japanese pair look to break back to level the match.

The GB duo had other ideas and dug oh so deep to move 4-2 ahead.

The gap in the scoreline has closed to just a single break as Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda hold serve for the first time in the match.

The Japanese fans in the crowd are looking slightly more encouraged now!

Earlier today, GB wheelchair fencer Gemma Collis lost out to Ukraine's Yevheniia Breus 15-7 in the repechage round 2.

Speaking after that loss, Collis said: "I'm hugely disappointed. I knew it was going to be tough, Yevheniia is such a fierce opponent. We had such a close final at the European Championships earlier this year which she came out on top by one hit.

"Obviously, I didn't want to be in the repechage. I really felt like when I looked at things today and I looked at the way I fenced all cycle, I had a great chance.

"Physically I didn't really have it today. I don't want to make excuses, I was totally outfenced by both my opponents, but physically I picked up a little bit of an injury on sabre day and I wasn't able to fence the way I wanted to. Ultimately, both girls knew what I was going to do and they really nullified that really well."

On whether she will compete at the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games, she added: "Absolutely. And probably Brisbane [2032], and even maybe the one after. I absolutely love fencing, and I look forward to doing it every day.

"Originally, I was like 'maybe Brisbane will be the last one', but now I'm like 'that doesn't seem that far away'. I'm not sure I'll be ready to stop. I'll be back. I still feel like I'm developing and getting better all the time."

That perfect start from Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid has come to an end with Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda hit back with a break of their own.

Still a healthy lead for the GB pair at Roland Garros.

Doubles in wheelchair tennis is the definition of an all-court game - including the full perimeters too. There are so many rallies where you think a player can't possibly get to the ball but yet they somehow do.

A superb exhibition of strokeplay and court coverage from both teams so far but it's the Brits who have control of the opening set with a double break lead. Gordon Reid has been particularly effective at choosing the right moment to come to the net.

What a start this is by Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid to the gold medal match!

The British pair break for a second time - without reply - to take a 3-0 lead in the first set.

There it is! Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid dig deep to save break point and eventually hold their serve.

They've started this match brilliantly!

Now it's Great Britain's turn to struggle on their serve. Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda produced a brilliant point to force deuce and a break point.

Great grit from the Brits though to save the break point and we're at deuce once again.

The British team have been pushed out of the medals at Chateau de Versailles.

Natasha Baker, the team's Grade III rider, had lifted GB up to second with a score of 75.367 points following the performances by team-mates Sophie Wells (Grade I) and Georgia Wilson (Grade II).

Wells got the team's medal bid under way with an opening score of 70.895 points, and Wilson added 73.300 to the team total.

But with five teams still to complete, the USA, Netherlands and Germany occupy the podium positions.

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have a chance to break serve in the very first game but Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda do well to force deuce.

A second break point comes the way of the Brits but Reid hits a backhand long.

Third time lucky they say? It absolutely was as Hewett and Reid break!

A short while ago, Sophie Unwin and pilot Jenny Holl won ParalympicsGB's 39th gold in Paris with their victory in the women's B road race.

Unwin said: "I'm always emotional, I was surprised it has taken me this long to cry like that. It just feels amazing. Jenny was incredible, she rode that race perfectly and it just feels amazing to win it.

"It's easy to say we win medals all the time and therefore it is easy, but Jenny has been there for me at some pretty bad times over the past few years. A couple of years ago, I was sleeping on her sofa for a week because I had nowhere else to go. She's been there through a lot for me. I definitely haven't always been the easiest person to train with, share a room with, race with."

Holl added: "I think the main thing for us is we both know all the time that each of us is working as hard as we possibly can so we have that trust and it's really nice to see it show in a set of medals at a Games."

Alfie Hewett is the world number one wheelchair tennis player across singles and doubles but he still needs one medal to complete the game.

A Paralympic gold has proved rather elusive. Hewett has been in three finals at the Games but those have resulted in three silver medals.

Will that change today?

The players are just finishing up their warm-ups and then we'll be under way in this final.

There are plenty of Union Jack flags in the crowd as Alfie Hewett aims to win his first Paralympic gold medal.

A lovely late summer's day in Paris. And history beckons for Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid as they attempt to complete the doubles 'Golden Slam'.

After his singles win at Wimbledon, a Paralympic gold medal is the last title to add to Alfie Hewett's collection.

Listen to his story on Paris Grassroots to Glory.

The Philippe Chatrier court has been swept, the crowd is up having a little dance and now all we need are the players.

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid and Japan's Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda are now out on court ready for this gold medal match.

Alfie Hewett (left) has previously featured in three Paralympic gold-medal matches but has come off second best on each occasion.

At Rio 2016, when an 18-year-old Hewett was perhaps a surprise finalist, it was his doubles partner Reid who beat him to singles gold.

The pair were beaten in the doubles finals in 2016 and the Tokyo Games three years ago, the latter defeat particularly agonising as they lost a final-set tie-break to France's Stephane Houdet and Nicolas Peifer.

Before Paris 2024 started, Hewett said he would "like to change that colour".

He added: "In wheelchair tennis, having a silver medal is a difficult pill to swallow, because you actually lose a match. With a bronze and a gold, the last match you play is a win. I've experienced that a few times now, so I know what it feels like to be on the losing end of that."
