Watch the best shots from Alfie Hewett's quarter-final win over Stephane Houdet
Britain's Alfie Hewett continued his quest for an elusive Wimbledon men's wheelchair singles title, despite being hampered by a shoulder injury as he reached the semi-finals.
Second seed Hewett outplayed Frenchman Stephane Houdet to win 6-1 6-4 on court three.
But he did need a medical timeout at 4-1 in the first set to treat his already heavily strapped shoulder, and had repeated problems with his first serve.
The 26-year-old has also advanced to the semi-finals in the men's wheelchair doubles alongside fellow Briton Gordon Reid.
Hewett has won eight Grand Slam singles titles and has won every major across singles and doubles – except the Wimbledon singles title.
He was broken in the opening game by 53-year-old Houdet, a three-time doubles winner at Wimbledon.
But the 26-year-old won the next six games to take the first set despite being restricted by his injury.
In a much tighter second set the pair twice traded breaks before Houdet was broken at 4-4 and Hewett was able to serve out for the match.
Hewett faces Argentine third seed and 2019 champion Gustavo Fernandez in the semi-finals.
In the doubles, Hewett and compatriot Reid, who have won 19 major titles together, were 6-1 7-5 winners against Spain's Martin de la Puente and Joachim Gerard of Belgium.
