Top seeds France will take on hosts Japan in the final of the men’s competition at the BNP Paribas World Team Cup after both nations claimed semi-final victories at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo.

The French produced a dominant performance to sweep aside Australia 2-0 in the wheelchair tennis competition, while Japan beat Britain by the same scoreline.

Nicolas Peifer, a Paralympic Games bronze medallist in doubles at London 2012, got France off to the best possible start as he breezed to a confident 6-1, 6-1 win against Keegan Oh Chee, leaving his country needing just one victory to reach the final.

That was duly delivered when Stéphane Houdet, a three-time Grand Slam singles champion, saw off Ben Weekes 6-2, 6-2, rendering the doubles rubber in the tie obsolete.

Japan were in similarly commanding mood as Takashi Sanada clinched a straight-sets triumph over Marc McCarroll, putting the Asian nation 1-0 up thanks to a 6-4, 6-1 success.

Former world number one Shingo Kunieda, Paralympic gold medallist at Beijing 2008 and London 2012, then sealed victory for Japan by overcoming Alfie Hewett 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 in a hard-fought contest.

In the women’s event, The Netherlands secured their spot in the final with a 3-0 whitewash over Russia.

Aniek van Koot got the Dutch on the scoreboard by beating Viktoriia Lvova 6-4, 6-2, before Australian Open winner Jiske Griffioen guaranteed their progression as she ousted Ludmila Bubnova 6-3, 7-5.

Despite being assured of their place in the tournament’s showpiece, Marjolein Buis and Diede de Groot teamed up to round off the clean sweep from the Dutch team as they proved too strong for Lvova and partner Polina Shakirova with a 6-2, 6-0 win.

They will go on to face China in the final after they narrowly edged past Japan 2-1.

Huimin Huang’s 6-2, 6-2 victory against Kanako Domori moved them to the brink of the next round but Yui Kamiji hit back for Japan by overcoming Zhenzhen Zhu 6-3, 6-2 to level the semi-final at 1-1.

Huimin and Zhenzhen then joined forces to book China’s final berth as they recorded a 6-1, 6-1 victory over their last four opponents.

The quad final will be between Britain and Australia after they came through their semi-final matches with Japan and Israel respectively.

The British team, made up of Jamie Burdekin and Andy Lapthorne, beat their Japanese rivals 2-0, while Australia squeezed through by virtue of a 2-1 win.

Burdekin beat Shota Kawano 6-1, 7-4, before Lapthorne recovered from a set down to earn a 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 triumph.

Australia were made to work much harder for their final spot as Heath Davidson lost 6-3, 6-0 to Noam Gershony but Dylan Alcott restored parity when he was on the right side of a 6-3, 6-2 result in his clash with Shraga Weinberg.

The Australians then came together to win 6-4, 6-2 in the deciding doubles against Itay Erenlib and Boaz Kramer.
