Wimbledon 2023 Final: Alfie Hewett missed Wimbledon's wheelchair singles title, losing to Japan's Oda in the final

Posted : 16 July 2023
Alfie Hewett from Great Britain fell short of achieving a career Grand Slam in singles as he lost to Japan's Tokito Oda in the Wimbledon men's wheelchair singles final.

The 17-year-old top seed secured his second major title, having also won last month's French Open. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam singles title that Hewett, a seven-time major champion at the age of 25, has yet to claim.

This marks his second consecutive defeat in the Wimbledon final after losing to Japan's Shingo Kunieda last year.
 
Despite the loss, Hewett expressed his appreciation for wheelchair tennis gaining recognition at Wimbledon and conveyed his determination to perform better in the future. In the doubles category, Hewett and his long-term partner Gordon Reid clinched their 18th Grand Slam doubles title by defeating Oda and his compatriot Takuya Miki in an exciting final on Court One.
 
In the singles final, Hewett made a strong start by taking a 4-1 lead, but Oda turned the tide by winning the next four games and eventually taking the first set. Hewett also had an early lead in the second set, but his struggles on serve and six double faults allowed Oda to secure a convincing victory, winning the final six games.
 
An elated Oda expressed his delight in claiming the title and thanked Hewett and his support team for the challenging match. In the quad wheelchair final, Dutch top seed Niels Vink emerged victorious, defeating Australia's Heath Davidson 6-1 6-2 in less than an hour to secure his first Wimbledon title.
