The Englishman teams up with Burdekin against Alcott and Britain's Antony Cotterill.
Men's singles top seed and reigning champion Gordon Reid will play Belgian Joachim Gerard in Saturday's semi-finals, while British number one Jordanne Whiley takes on German Katharina Kruger in the women's event.
Whiley, 22, and London 2012 Paralympic bronze medal-winning team-mate Lucy Shuker will face Kgothatso Montjane of South Africa and American Kaitlyn Verfuerth in the women's doubles final.
