Great Britain’s Alfie Hewett beat Gustavo Fernandez 4-6 6-4 6-7 (12-10) to reach the French Open wheelchair singles final.
Second seed Hewett had not dropped a set in his first two matches but had to come from behind to get beyond Argentina’s Fernandez in two hours and 46 minutes.
Hewett is a 10-time Grand Slam singles champion and has won the French Open title three times.
The 27-year-old faces world number one Tokito Oda in the final after the Japanese star beat Martin de la Puente 6-4 6-4.
Hewett was also due to play alongside fellow Briton Gordon Reid in the men’s wheelchair doubles final on Friday but that match has been moved to Saturday.
The British duo – who are five-time defending champions in Paris – will face Oda and France’s Stephane Houdet for the title.
