Wimbledon wheelchair final: Briton Alfie Hewett completes career Grand Slam with win

Britain’s Alfie Hewett won his first Wimbledon wheelchair singles title to complete a career Grand Slam with a convincing win over Spain’s Martin de la Puente.

Hewett fell to agonising defeats in the last two Wimbledon finals but this time looked utterly dominant in his 6-2 6-3 win on Court One.

After taking the title with a crushing backhand return the 26-year-old threw his racquet into the air and then dropped his head into his lap in front of feverish support.

Hewett became the second male player after ********* legend Shingo Kunieda to win both the singles and doubles of every Grand Slam.

Later on Sunday he could become the first man since Briton’s Gordon Reid in 2016 to win the Wimbledon singles and doubles title in the same year.

He partners Reid against Japan’s Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda on court three with the British pair having won five of the past seven titles together.
