Defending champions Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid won the wheelchair men's doubles title at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, defeating Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda in the final, 6–4, 7–6 (7–2), after claiming a long-awaited singles title to complete a career Grand Slam with victory over Martin de la Puente.
A delighted 26-year-old Hewitt said: "Winning the doubles with Gordon is good memories." He became the second male player after Japanese legend Shingo Kunieda to win both the singles and doubles of every Grand Slam.
In front of a sun-kissed crowd, Hewett achieved his redemption - becoming the first man since Reid (in 2016) to win the Wimbledon singles and doubles title in the same year. The Brits paired up against Japan's Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda on court three with them having won five of the past seven titles together, with Hewett now winning nine Grand Slam singles titles to go with his 20 in the doubles.
“This proved that no matter how many times you get knocked down, you can still get back up,” said an emotional Hewett in his on-court interview. He also paid tribute to his family and friends for helping him win the title that had eluded him.
He then dedicated his victories to his grandfather, saying: "He was here for my very first Wimbledon performance and it's really nice he can be here today to celebrate this win.
"And to the rest of my family, you're all very special and I love you lots." Only Kunieda, 50, has won more in the men's game.
