The British pair were broken twice in the first set of the semi-final against Houdet and Ji but then won four games in a row to seal the opener.<\/p>\n
The second set was delayed for 13 minutes because of a mechanical issue with Houdet’s wheelchair, which was eventually sorted, but it did not take Hewett and Reid out of their rhythm.<\/p>\n
Hewett will face Fernandez in the wheelchair singles last four on Friday in the second match on Court One.<\/p>\n
Andrew Penney lost 6-0 6-1 to Spain’s Martin de la Puente in the men’s wheelchair singles second round.<\/p>\n
Britain’s Lucy Shuker and South African partner Kgothatso Montjane were beaten 6-3 6-2 in the women’s wheelchair doubles semi-finals by Japan’s Yui Kamiji and China’s Zhenzhen Zhu.<\/p>\n
In the quad wheelchair doubles semi-finals, British pair Andy Lapthorne and Gregory Slade suffered a 6-4 6-1 defeat by the Netherlands’ Sam Schroder and Australia’s Jin Woodman.<\/p>\n
