Alfie Hewett claimed his first men's wheelchair singles Wimbledon title on Sunday, beating Spaniard Martin de la Puente in straight sets on No. 1 Court, hours before he and partner Gordon Reid defended their doubles title.
He has become the first man since Reid in 2016 to win the Wimbledon singles and doubles title in the same year.
The 26-year-old, ranked No. 2 for the singles tournament, took the first set in convincing fashion as De La Puente struggled to hold serve.
Hewett, who has battled a shoulder issue throughout the tournament, had difficulties with his own serve in the second set as he attempted to close out the match. A stunning return on break point in the seventh game of the set saw Hewett take an advantage he refused to relinquish, eventually winning 6-2, 6-3.
"These last few years have been difficult, leaving the championship ... to leave on singles final loss has been not far off heartbreaking the last couple of years," Hewett said in his on-court interview after clinching victory. "I've been really trying to see the positives in my developments and my game on grass but, when you've been watching this ever since a young kid and it's been a dream for so long, narrowly missing out is a real tough one.
"I'll be honest, last night I was a ball of nerves because I didn't want to walk away with another loss today. So I'm just really really proud of my performance out there and so grateful for all of you."
Hewett will reclaim top spot in the men's wheelchair singles rankings after the victory over De La Puente.
Later on Sunday, Hewett and Reid beat Japan's Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda 6-4, 7-6(2) in a repeat of last year's doubles final.
His second victory of the day meant that he became the second male player, after Shingo Kunieda, to win both the singles and doubles title at every Grand Slam.
