Norfolk has now set his sights on the singles title

Two-time Paralympic gold medallist Peter Norfolk won the doubles quad final with partner Sarah Hunter at the wheelchair tennis Japan Open.

The duo beat top seeds David Wagner and Bryan Barten 7-6 6-3.

Hampshire's Norfolk, the world number one quad player, will now face Wagner in the singles final on Saturday.

The 48-year-old will be out to avenge defeat by Wagner in last year's final, but he goes in to the contest leading 22-13 in career head-to-heads.
