​Tokito Oda of Japan defeated Great Britain’s Alfie Hewett in straight sets to capture his third Wimbledon men’s wheelchair singles title. The top seed and defending champion controlled the final on Court One, winning 6-1, 6-1. At 20 years old, Oda secured his sixth consecutive Grand Slam singles title across the majors since a setback to Hewett in the 2025 Australian Open final, and he has remained undefeated at the four majors this year. Hewett, who had just claimed a seventh Wimbledon men’s wheelchair doubles title with Gordon Reid on the previous day, was again unable to overcome Oda in the singles final at SW19 for the second consecutive year.
Hewett’s serve faltered for extended periods, recording three double faults in his opening service game, six in the first set, and a total of ten for the match. After the defeat, Hewett said on court that he was “extremely disappointed.” He reflected on yesterday’s high of a remarkable doubles victory and noted that today’s performance did not meet his expectations. He offered congratulations to Oda, acknowledging that the 2026 calendar already features three Grand Slams for his rival and speculating about what Oda’s objective will be heading into the US Open. Hewett, who won Wimbledon’s singles crown in 2024, added that Oda is an incredible player and deserved the win.
Across recent years, Oda and Hewett have dominated the men’s wheelchair singles scene, sharing every Grand Slam title since the start of 2023. Oda has claimed ten of those titles, while Hewett has taken four, leaving them tied on ten Grand Slam singles titles overall and just behind Shingo Kunieda’s staggering total of 28. Notably, Oda also defeated Hewett in the 2024 Paralympic final in Paris, and with this Wimbledon triumph, they now stand level on Grand Slam singles titles. Kunieda remains the all-time leader with 28 major titles, a record that continues to stand well above the current two players’ totals.
