After beating Sweden's world number three and top seed Johan Andersson in the semi-finals of the quad singles, Lapthorne raced in to a 5-2 lead in the final against world number four and Sydney second seed Nick Taylor of the United States.

But despite having a set point, third seed the Middlesex player was unable to sustain his attack and Taylor's greater experience saw him through to a 7-5, 6-3 victory.

Later in the day Lapthorne and fellow Briton John Parfitt took on top seeds Andersson and Taylor in the quad doubles final, but with a string of Paralympic medals behind them Andersson and Taylor's experience again proved a telling factor as they took the honours 6-2, 6-3.

The women's double final gave British women's number one Lucy Shuker and her Australian partner Daniela di Toro the opportunity to try and avenge their defeat to Florence Gravellier of France and Aniek van Koot of the Netherlands in last week's Australian Open women's doubles final. 

However, Gravellier and van Koot once again proved too strong as they repeated their Melbourne win with a 6-1, 6-4 victory.
