​British pair Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have clinched their seventh Wimbledon men’s wheelchair doubles title as a team, staging a comeback from a set down on Court One to defeat Argentina’s Gustavo Fernandez and Japan’s Tokito Oda 2-6, 6-1, 6-2. Fernandez and Oda made life difficult for their opponents in the opening set, breaking Hewett and Reid in all four of their service games, but the British duo responded with remarkable resilience, taking nine of the next ten games to turn the match around. That momentum swing gave Hewett and Reid a 3-0 lead in the deciding set, and they held firm to seal victory in a high-quality final, securing their 25th Grand Slam doubles title together.
Hewett, 28, and Reid, 34, also claimed the French Open title in June, adding to their Wimbledon triumphs. Fernandez and Oda hold the other two Grand Slam doubles titles—the US Open and the Australian Open—highlighting the high level of competition Hewett and Reid faced in London. The two-time Wimbledon champions will again meet Oda in the men’s wheelchair singles final on Sunday. Oda leads as the top seed, the defending champion, and is aiming for a third singles crown at SW19, while second seed Hewett seeks to add to his previous Wimbledon singles title from 2024.
Further updates are expected as the tournament progresses.
