Britain's Alfie Hewett maintained his chances of an Australian Open clean sweep by reaching the wheelchair singles final before progressing to the doubles final with partner Gordan Reid.

The second seed will face world number one Tokito Oda, who he lost to in last year's final, on Saturday after beating Argentine Gustavo Fernandez 6-3 6-3 in the last four.

Later, Hewett and fellow Briton Reid beat Spaniard Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren of the Netherlands 6-4 6-4 in the doubles semi-finals.

Top seeds Hewett and Reid, who have won the past five Melbourne doubles titles together, face Spain's Daniel Caverzaschi and Stephane Houdet of France on Friday.

Elsewhere, Britain's Andy Lapthorne advanced to the final of the quad wheelchair doubles final alongside Dutch partner Sam Schroder.

The pair defeated Australian-Canadian duo Heath Davidson and Robert Shaw 6-1 6-2 and take on Guy Sasson of Israel and the Netherlands' Niels Vink on Friday.

In the women's wheelchair doubles, Briton Lucy Shuker and Japanese partner Yui Kamiji were beaten 7-5 6-1 in their semi-final by Chinese duo Li Xiaohui and Wang Ziying.
