The 28-year-old will face Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez for a place in the final after beating China's Ji Zhenxu 6-1 6-4.

Later, Hewett and Reid moved closer to a 24th major doubles title together by overcoming France's Guilhem Laget and Japan's Takuya Miki 6-2 6-3.

Bidding for a seventh consecutive wheelchair doubles title at the French Open, the top seeds will meet Spain's Martin De La Puente and France's Stephane Houdet in Friday's final.

Hewett and Reid have not lost a doubles match together at Roland Garros since a semi-final defeat in 2019.

Lapthorne and Slade were beaten 6-2 3-6 10-6 by second seeds Sam Schroder and Jin Woodman, from the Netherlands and Australia respectively.
