    Gustavo Fernandez was really putting Alfie Hewett under pressure there, hanging back deep he was really just reacting.

    Gustavo Fernandez has an extremely powerful upper body - but he has the touch too.

    A delicate drop shot followed by two superb forehand winners bring up two break points for the Argentine.

    He only needs one - a brilliant return right to the base of Alfie Hewett's chair is ungettable.

    The winner of this afternoon's semi-final between Hewett and Fernandez already knows what awaits them in the final - and it's a daunting task to say the least.

    World number one Shingo Kunieda.

    The 27-time Grand Slam champion - yes, you read that number right, it's a record in singles of any discipline - has already brushed aside Belgium's Joachim Gerard 6-2 6-1 in Friday's first semi-final.

    Kuneida is chasing the career Grand Slam - Wimbledon is the only major tournament the 11-time Australian Open champion, eight-time French Open winner and eight-time US Open titlist is yet to win.

    Vamos!

    We've heard that before.

    Gustavo Fernandez is pumped up after a big serve fends off a break point for Alfie Hewett. We remain on serve.

    *Fernandez 1-1 Hewett

    The BBC TV commentators just pointed out a tattoo of Diego Maradona that adorns the arm of Gustavo Fernandez.

    Probably the most famous Argentine sportsperson of all time? Although Leo Messi would have something to say about that.

    A chance, here, all of a sudden for Alfie Hewett, he's come back from 0-40 to deuce on the Fernandez serve with some excellent returning.

    A slice of fortune with a net cord helps Alfie Hewett win a key point at 30-15 on his own serve, then Fernandez sends a backhand return wide and we're level at a game apiece.

    Gustavo Fernandez recovers from losing that opening point to hold serve in the first game.

    He caps the hold with an ace.

    *Fernandez 0-0 Hewett

    We're under way in Alfie Hewett's bid to reach a first Wimbledon men's wheelchair singles final.

    Hewett begins in fine style with a powerful backhand winner on the Fernandez serve.

    For those of you new to wheelchair tennis, the ball is allowed to bounce twice, not once, in this discipline of the sport.

    Fernandez v Hewett (13:00 BST)

    The players are out on a busy Court One, currently engaged in their warm-up.

    It's a big day for Alfie Hewett, in a semi-final on a showpiece court, and he will have a partisan crowd cheering him on.

    Fernandez v Hewett (13:00 BST)

    Alfie Hewett said he was "disappointed" his Wimbledon men's wheelchair singles win against fellow Briton Gordon Reid was not on a court with a bigger capacity, after their three-set quarter-final tussle.

    Hewett reached the semi-finals with seats full and fans crowding round to watch on court 14. At the same time, women's invitational doubles matches were being played on the larger courts two and three.

    "We've done a lot over the last couple of years to showcase how great wheelchair tennis can be," Hewett said.

    It seems All England Club bosses have listened to his comments - Hewett's semi-final against Gustavo Fernandez is the curtain-raiser on Court One today, and he'll return for the doubles semis later too.

    Great Britain's Alfie Hewett is a five-time Grand Slam singles champion - but reaching a Wimbledon wheelchair singles final is probably the biggest box left to tick on his 'to-do' list.

    The 24-year-old - a three-time French Open winner and two-time US Open champion - is a four-time Wimbledon doubles champion but has lost both his previous singles semi-finals here in 2017 and 2018.

    The first of those defeats came against the man on the other side of the net today, Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez, who is also a five-time Grand Slam singles champ, including a Wimbledon triumph in 2019.

    Hewett has already beaten one former Wimbledon winner in the quarter- finals, his good friend, fellow Briton and doubles partner Gordon Reid - indeed they are back on Court One later in the doubles semi-final.
