Alfie Hewett Advances to Wimbledon Semi-Finals

Alfie Hewett is poised to protect his Wimbledon singles title, having advanced to the semi-finals after a decisive victory over China’s Zhenxu Ji. The 26-year-old Brit, currently ranked second in the world and boasting a record of 10 titles in singles and 23 in doubles with partner Gordon Reid, showcased his impressive skills with a swift 6-1, 6-1 win, losing only two games in the process.

Reid’s Defeat Ends All-British Finals Hopes

However, hopes for an all-British finals matchup were dashed as his compatriot Reid suffered a defeat at the hands of Argentina’s fourth seed, Gustavo Fernandez, ending his pursuit of the singles crown.

Hewett’s Dominant Performance

Hewett’s performance was marked by his agility on the court and pinpoint precision, allowing him to dominate the game against Ji. After overcoming early break points in the first game, he took control with an impressive run that put him ahead 3-0 before wrapping up the first set. Although Ji managed to win a game, Hewett’s dominance continued into the second set with an early break, cementing his place in the semi-finals effortlessly.

The semi-final matches are set in the context of the Wimbledon tournament, which takes place from June 30 to July 13, 2025, at the historic All England Club, with live broadcasts available through BBC platforms including television, radio, and online streams.
