Wimbledon: Alfie Hewett into first wheelchair singles final after remarkable comeback

Hewett reached his first Wimbledon men's wheelchair singles final after coming back from two sets to one down.

Hewett came back from a set and two breaks of serve down to win.

The world number two and the top seed will meet in the final.

"That was incredible, I've never experienced anything like this before," he said.

After a three-hour tussle in which Hewett came back from behind to win, the Britons received a standing applause.

In a seesaw encounter that thrilled the showpiece court's large crowd, the players traded breaks of serve 14 times.

Five-time Grand Slam singles champion Hewett said that they try to improve the exposure of their sport.

Hewett had little time to reflect on his achievement as he was due back on Court One later in the day to play in the doubles semi- final.

The Britons beat the Belgians in last year's final to win the title.

'Pushed to be in front of a bigger crowd'

Hewett was upset that the all-British match had been played on court 14 instead of a show court.

Hewett's semi-final was moved from court three to Court One due to his comments.

Hewett said that he kept getting calls from the tournament referee while he was sleeping.

I didn't get a lot of sleep after I found out that it was a court change to Court One.

I've been excited for this event.

We tried to push for our sport to be shown in front of a bigger crowd because we were lucky to be on court three.

The lack of sleep might have been the reason for Hewett's sluggish start as he struggled on serve throughout the opening two sets.

The British player won five games in a row to force a tie-break.

Hewett dropped serve in the opening game of the deciding set but broke back to level at 4-4 and then broke again to win the match.

The only major missing from his trophy cabinet is Wimbledon, but he will face a career Slamper in the final in the shape of Kunieda.

One of the competitors in the quad wheelchair doubles final fell out of his chair and was unable to continue.

Lucy Shuker and Kgothatso Montjane lost to Yui Kamiji and Dana Mathewson in the women's wheelchair doubles semifinals.
