Alfie Hewett captures fifth US Open wheelchair singles title

Great Britain's Alfie Hewett defeated Japanese top seed Tokito Oda to secure his fifth US Open men's wheelchair singles title on Friday. The 28-year-old clinched the match with a 6-0, 7-6 (7-5) scoreline. By winning the final, Hewett prevented Oda from completing a calendar-year Grand Slam in 2026. Hewett recovered from a double break down in the second set and saved three set points to avoid a third set. This result marks the 11th Grand Slam singles crown of Hewett's career. He previously secured a doubles title at this year's tournament alongside Gordon Reid. Reflecting on his victory, Hewett noted that a loss to Oda at Wimbledon served as a catalyst for his performance, prompting him to play with more intensity.
