They served out the opening set after breaking for a second time for a 5-4 lead, but they were unable to do the same in the 10th game of set two as Peifer and De la Puente levelled the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peifer and De la Puente carried that momentum into the match tie-break to establish a 7-2 lead on their way to taking their first match point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two-time singles champion Hewett, who won the title in New York in 2018 and 2019, meets top seed Shingo Kunieda in his sixth successive US Open men’s wheelchair singles final.<\/span><\/p>\n
