Britain’s Alfie Hewett will aim for a fourth French Open men’s wheelchair singles title after reaching the final with a 6-2 6-2 win over Argentine third seed Gustavo Fernandez.

Top seed Hewett, 25, will face Japanese second seed Tokito Oda, and needs to win to remain world number one.

“There’s going to be a lot to play for and that’s exciting,” he said.

“There’s not many times in the year you get to play for a number one spot and a Grand Slam title in the same match.”

Hewett and his partner Gordon Reid are also in the men’s doubles semi-finals.

The pair are 16-time doubles champions at the four majors, and will be competing for a fourth successive French Open doubles title.

They will face Belgian Joachim Gerard and Oda on Friday.
