On Sunday, four finals were contested in Wheelchair Tennis at the BNP Paribas World Team Cup, held in Alghero, Italy. We start in the Quad division, where Great Britain took on Israel. After the teams split the two singles matches, Great Britain’s Antony Cotterill and Andy Lapthorne won the gold for their country in doubles, defeating Israel’s Noam Gershony and Shraga Weinberg in straight sets. A similar situation played out in the Junior final, as the USA’s Nathan Melnyk and Conner Stroud defeated Russia’s Sergei Lysov and Aleksei Shuklin in the deciding doubles match. In the Women’s final, China pulled off an upset victory over top-seeded Netherlands to win their first ever title! Hui Min Huang and Zhenzhen Zhu both won their singles matches to clinch the victory. Finally in the men’s final, France took the victory over Great Britain, winning their 8th title. The deciding doubles match was a rematch of the 2016 Rio Paralympics final, in which France’s Paralympic champions Stéphane Houdet and Nicolas Peifer took down Great Britain’s​ Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid.
