ALFIE HEWETT secured an emotional maiden wheelchair singles title at Wimbledon after a comprehensive 6-2 6-3 victory over Spain’s Martin De La Puente.

Hewett had experienced disappointment in the 2022 and 2023 singles finals at the All England Club as he bid to complete the career grand slam.

However, the British star erased the memories of his defeat on Court One to Tokito Oda last year with a sublime display of hitting to delight a pumped up home crowd with a long-awaited singles success in SW19.
