 Norfolk was in superb form to reach the semi-finals |
World number one and defending champion Peter Norfolk eased into the last four of the British Open quad singles after a comprehensive straight-sets win.
Norfolk beat former champion Shraga Weinberg of Israel 6-0 6-1 and will next face Dorrie Timmermans.
Norfolk's doubles partner Jamie Burdekin lost out 6-2 6-2 to world number four Nick Taylor, who will play compatriot David Wagner.
Esther Vergeer remains on course for another women's singles crown.
The Dutch star defeated French world number three Florence Gravellier 6-2 6-1 to extend her unbeaten singles record to 363 and will play compatriot and world number two Korie Homan in the final.
Homan, who held a match point against Vergeer before losing in the Beijing Paralympic final, claimed a comprehensive 6-0 6-2 success over world number four Sharon Walraven.
It will be the third consecutive year that the pair have met in the Nottingham decider.
Elsewhere, the top four men's seeds all reached the semi-finals with top seed Shingo Kunieda of Japan set to take on Robin Ammerlaan of the Netherlands while the other tie will be an all-French affair between Stephane Houdet and Michael Jeremiasz.
Jeremiasz was given a scare losing the first set before beating unseeded compatriot Frederic Cattaneo 5-7 6-3 6-3.
