Alfie Hewett moved to within a match of what would be a successful men’s singles title defence in Madrid after beating Spaniard Roberto Chamizo 7-5, 6-3 in the semi-finals, while also winning the men’s doubles title for the second successive year after partnering Daniel Caverzaschi to victory.
After starting his singles title defence against Felix Garcia, top seed Hewett will meet Martin de la Puente, the other half of Spain’s World’s Team Cup junior team, in Sunday’s final. Garcia and de la Puente were both on opposite sides of the net to Hewett in the junior final at the 2013 World Team Cup in Turkey, when Great Britain beat Spain.
Hewett and Caverzaschi, the tops seeds, defeated Moroccan fourth seeds Ayoub Ettali and Boukartacha Lhaj 6-3, 6-4 in the doubles semi-finals and went on to beat Chamizo and his fellow Spaniard Ruben Perez, the third seeds 6-4, 6-3 to seal the title.
