Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid reclaimed their Wimbledon wheelchair doubles crown on Saturday, defeating Tokito Oda and Gustavo Fernandez in three sets to win their seventh doubles title as a pair at the Championships.
Hewett, 28, and Reid, 34, came from a set down on Court No 1 to avenge last year’s defeat to Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren. Hewett and Reid returned to Wimbledon as the number one seeds with Japan’s Oda and Argentina’s Fernandez knocking out De la Puente and Fernandez int the semi-final.
The 2-6 6-1 6-2 victory in one hour and 47 minutes for the British pair means they have now won 25 grand slam doubles titles together, while Hewett will have the chance to win his second Wimbledon singles title and first since 2024 when he plays the dominant world No 1 Oda on Sunday. It will be the third time in four years that Hewett and Oda, 20, have played the singles final.
