    Men’s singles final - Hewett 2-6 6-4 1-1 Oda*

    Oh that’s better from Tokito Oda. He immediately brings up three break points on the Alfie Hewett serve, forcing a little bit of line-painting to save one of them.

    But too little too late.

    Oda breaks back. How are your nerves holding up?

    Great Britain has the chance to add four more medals to the 30 they have already won on the last day of the swimming competition at the Paralympics in Paris.

    British Para-swimmers are just one gold medal behind China on 18, which tops the medal standings. Could GB add more tonight?

    Faye Rogers will hope so. She is going for her second gold of the Games in the women’s SM10 200m individual medley at La Defense Arena at 16:30 BST.

    Brock Whiston is also targeting a second gold in the women’s S8 S100m butterfly at 17:07. A medal will add to the silver she has also won.

    The 27-year-old will be joined in the final by team-mate Alice Tai. The 25-year-old aims to top the podium for a third time in Paris to add to her silver and bronze.

    And in the last final of GB’s campaign will be Stephen Clegg who will go for his second gold in the men’s S12 100m butterfly at 18:27.

    Who will benefit from the roof closing over?

    Alfie Hewett starts the decider by putting pressure on Tokito Oda’s serve and now the winners are coming as Hewett really finds his range, all with a sneaky disguise on it.

    Second break point for the Briton as yet another return goes long for Oda. The clattering of Hewett’s wheels punctuate the break.

    What a way to start the decider.

    Here we go. Alfie Hewett is serving to level the match, and could it be that Tokito Oda is beginning to feel a few nerves? Tight arm errors come from the teenager's racquet.

    Phenomenal serving from Hewett. Not even a roar. Just a look.

    We are going to a decider.

    Game on.

    Well, then.

    This didn't look likely when Alfie Hewett failed to hold his serve for the entirety of the first set.

    As Hewett was breaking Oda in that last game, the roof was closing on Court Philippe Chatrier.

    The clouds have been darkening for a while here so clearly rain is on the way.

    Men’s singles final - *Hewett 2-6 5-4 Oda

    The roof is inching across the court - are they expecting some rain? They haven't stopped the players, so on we go.

    Much better body language from Alfie Hewett now, and clever play - putting the ball back behind Tokito Oda and more importantly he is able to push across the court a lot better. He too holds to love.

    Getting to the sharp end - and Hewett fluffs a shot and mouths something rather fruity back to his camp about missing that shot.

    But he doesn't miss the next one. Two break points.

    He gets the break. How vital will this turn out to be?

    Well that was a welcome hold for Alfie Hewett - one that at least did not last for more than 17 minutes.

    Not sure whose nerves are settled the most by that. But has this recovery come a little too late?

    Hewett is definitely looking a bit sharper now but the power from the 18-year-old Oda is immense. He also powers to a hold.

    Another GB medal!

    It's bronze for Natasha Baker who finishes third on her horse Dawn Chorus with a total score of 77.140.

    USA's Rebecca Hart takes gold on the final run with 83.543 points ahead of Dutchwoman Rixt van der Horst in silver (83.007).

    That's four medals won by British riders in the five individual freestyle events today.

    Alfie Hewett must be hoping that Tokito Oda slows down a bit, to give him a break from serving, and at least pushes Oda to deuce.

    But some huge serving from Japanese teenager sees him ahead on serve.

    What a celebration from Alfie Hewett after that marathon hold, leaning back in his chair and lifting his arms into the air - just like he did when celebrating the doubles gold with Gordon Reid yesterday.

    Can that be a momentum-shifter?

    The crowd on Philippe Chatrier are getting into this.

    This fourth game is turning out to be a bit of an epic. Break points have come and gone for Tokito Oda, and Alfie Hewett has even managed to raise a smile and tried to orchestrate the crowd.

    What have we learned from this game? Hewett does seem to be moving a little bit better at the moment, and while he can continue to coax errors from a powerful Oda, there is still some hope.

    Heavens above – he gets the hold, raises his hands aloft and it is if he has won the match.

    The umpire reminds them – there is one more game to go, before there is a change of ends, but let’s face it – we need a sip of water after that too.

    Italy's Francesca Salvade puts in a good run, but it's not good enough to topple GB's Natasha Baker as she ends up fourth.

    It means Baker, currently in second, will be guaranteed at least a bronze with only America's Rebecca Hart left to compete.

    Italy's Francesca Salvade and Rebecca Hart are left though and both are likely to compete for medals.

    Men’s singles final - *Hewett 2-6 1-2 Oda

    Alfie Hewett's serving percentage has dropped, and when it is met with the intensity of a Tokito Oda return, he needs to mix things up.

    It's not so much about the tennis, as it is about the body. Can he get to the next ball?

    Hewett gets on the board, and that surely must help his confidence - even if it largely comes at the expense of Oda's errors.

    Oda chucks in a couple more, but the effort that Hewett is having to put in today to move around the court means Oda can pick off his points - he holds.

    A lot of work now for Alfie Hewett to do, as Tokito Oda does gift Hewett a couple of points here and there.

    Hewett is a fighter though, even though you can see clearly how uncomfortable he is feeling.

    Oda is trying to get the crowd to give him a cheer or two.

    Hang about. Hewett draws out another error from Oda - a sniff of a break point?

    But too much power from Oda. He holds.
