British wheelchair doubles pair Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid progressed to the semi-finals of the French Open as they began their pursuit of a sixth consecutive title at Roland Garros.

The duo beat Chile’s Alexander Cataldo and Israel’s Sergei Lysov 6-1 4-6 [10-4].

Meanwhile, fellow Briton Andy Lapthorne beat Canada’s Robert Shaw 7-5 7-5 in the men’s quad wheelchair quarter-final.

Lapthorne, 34, has never won a singles title on the French clay, with his most recent Grand Slam final coming in Paris in 2020.

He will face Dutch top seed Niels Vink in the last four.

Top seeds Hewett and Reid are scheduled to face each other in the semi-finals of the singles draw after they began their campaigns with dominant victories.

Hewett has won the French major three times, most recently in 2021, while Reid is a two-time runner-up.

The pair are five-time defending doubles champions in Paris and will face Japan’s Takuya Miki and American Casey Ratzlaff in the semis.
