Norfolk claims Florida Open win

Norfolk is unbeaten against Wagner this year

Britain's Peter Norfolk came from 5-3 down in the deciding set to beat David Wagner in the Florida Open wheelchair tennis quad singles final.

The world number two, who won Paralympic gold in Athens, triumphed 2-6 6-3 7-5 over the world number one for his fourth title in five years.

But Norfolk was unable to add the doubles title to his haul.

He and partner Jamie Burdekin from Liverpool lost 7-5 6-0 to Wagner and Nick Taylor.

In the singles final, Norfolk missed out on three break points in the fourth game and then dropped three game points on his own serve in the next game to go a break down.

Wagner then went on to complete a run of four successive games to clinch the first set but Norfolk began the second set strongly to take a 3-1 lead.

The American broke back but Norfolk broke for a second time to lead 5-3 and then saved a break point on his own serve before levelling the match.

Norfolk continued to struggle on his own serve as Wagner opened up a 4-0 lead before the Briton came back into it and eventually levelled it at 5-5 before breaking again.

With his first chance to serve for the match, Norfolk began with an ace, but a typically nervy game again went to deuce. Wagner then made an error on a return to hand Norfolk his first match point, which the Hampshire man nailed to seal a thrilling victory.
