    *Hewett/Reid 2-2 Gerard/Olsson

    And what a way to do it!

    With 0-40 and three break points in his back pocket, Gordon Reid hits a lovely soft-handed overhead angled dropper to put the first set back on serve.

    Alcott 6-0 Lapthorne*

    All the As. Amazing Aussie Alcott takes first set 6-0 against Britain's Andy Lapthorne in the quad singles final. He's won twice as many points as his opponent.

    Hewett/Reid 1-2 *Gerard/Olsson

    Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett get on the board, holding to 30.

    The players head over to their stools for a well-earned sip of energy drink after a marathon first three games.

  6. Gerard/Olsson holdpublished at 11:25 British Summer Time 13 July 2019

    *Hewett/Reid 0-2 Gerard/Olsson

    Gordon Reid digs out a drop shot to help set up two break points at 15-40.

    But Olsson and Joachim knock back the British duo.

    Alfie Hewett's mighty backhand swat brings up another break point. But Gerard's serve and Olsson presence at the net hustle them out of that.

    Back and forth the momentum flows, 10 deuces in total before the Swedish-Belgian duo eventually seal a 14-minute game.

    I should say at this point that you can watch this match or Andy Lapthorne's bid for glory on one of our plethora of live video streams.

    Dylan Alcott’s play at the net is sublime. Beautiful drop shots that Andy Lapthorne can get nowhere near.

    It’s been a tough start for the Brit.

  9. Call for increased wheelchair tennis drawspublished at 11:18 British Summer Time 13 July 2019

    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    Two-time Paralympic bronze medallist Lucy Shuker has called on Wimbledon organisers to consider increasing the draw sizes for wheelchair tournaments.

    Shuker, 39, is ranked world number nine but will not compete at SW19 after missing out on a wildcard.

    Only the top seven plus a wildcard compete in the men's and women's wheelchair events, and top three plus a wildcard in the quads event.

    "We have been shouting for it for a long time," Shuker told BBC Sport.

  10. What's the score with the quad event?published at 11:15 British Summer Time 13 July 2019

    *Alcott 3-0 Lapthorne

    Quad wheelchair tennis is making its competitive debut at Wimbledon having appeared as an exhibition event last year.

    Britain's Lapthorne is a two-time Paralympic silver medallist, while Aussie Alcott boasts 12 Grand Slam titles.

    The winner earns £34,000 with the runner-up getting half that amount. They shared £14,000 for winning the doubles.

    Alcott looks most likely to be in the money at this stage after an early break.

    “Good match mate,” Dylan Alcott calls across to Andy Lapthorne just before his first serve to get this final under way. Nice.

    “Good boy, Dylan,” he says to himself after holding the first game.

    Will 2019 be a simple cut and paste job for the Wimbledon stencil and sticker man?

    Or can Joachim Gerard and Stefan Olsson spoil the party and silence the already boisterous British crowd - I think the AM Pimms might play a part in that - on Court Three?

    Never mind Mur-ena. If you really want doubles silverware on finals weekend, give Alf-reid a shout.

    Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid - the Anglo-Scottish duo - have won the last three wheelchair doubles finals.

    Can they make it four in a row? They are up against Belgium's Joachim Gerard and Sweden's Stefan Olsson, who they beat 6-1 6-4 in last year's final, today.

    Williams v Halep (14:00 BST)

    Hairstyles change, accessories come and go, but come Saturday of finals weekend, there is a fair chance that come 16:00 BST on Centre Court, the sight will be reassuringly similar.

    Serena Williams with the Venus Rosewater Dish hoisted high and smiling broadly.

    Can the American reel in her eighth Wimbledon title and her 24th Grand Slam singles success?

    Or can Simona Halep, appearing in her first Wimbledon final, tear up the script?

    The first serve comes down in that one shortly after 14:00 BST.
