Alfie Hewett fought back from heartbreak in the men's wheelchair singles final to clinch a sixth successive French Open doubles title with partner Gordon Reid.

The British top seeds claimed a 6-4 1-6 10-7 victory over Japan's Tokito Oda and France's Stephane Houdet.

That came after Hewett lost 6-4 7-6 (8-6) to world number one Oda in the singles showpiece.

Watching the Ryder Cup, Europe going pretty good.
What did surprise me, was apparently the entrance fee for spectators is 750 Dollars a day, WTF

Keeps out the riffraff.
You would think so, but the heckling and abusive language thrown at the European Team is atrocious.
Even the commentators are describing it as the worst display of abuse to players they have ever seen.
The players were no better either. A couple of times the match officials had to intervene to calm the players.
Having watched the Ryder Cup for years, it was usually played in a respectful way as golf generally is.
Probably the influence of Trump again.

Sounds like you follow golf like the episode of South park where they were playing a computer game as Tiger Woods running away from his now ex-wife as she was throwing things at him

I wonder how many people tuned in, like me, just because they heard about the feuding going on.

I used to follow golf but lost interest about 20 years ago.

I tend to only watch the ryder cup and highlights of the majors, golf is definitely better played than watched.
The American crowd were a disgrace, I think they all want to one up each other for who can be the biggest bellend.
Some great golf played and incredible drama on the final day.

Bah!
