British wheelchair tennis player Alfie Hewett has made history by completing a career Grand Slam in singles. Hewett’s latest triumph came at Wimbledon, where he secured the final title needed to achieve this milestone. The 26-year-old has now won all four major titles in the sport: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
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.
Britain’s Alfie Hewett claimed a long-awaited Wimbledon wheelchair singles title. He also completed a career Grand Slam with victory over Martin de la Puente.
“Narrowly missing out has been tough before and last night I was a ball of nerves,” Hewett told Court One after clinching the title.
Hewett became the second male player after Japanese legend Shingo Kunieda to win both the singles and doubles of every Grand Slam.
