Alfie Hewett, a talented wheelchair tennis player from Britain, achieved a remarkable milestone by winning his first Wimbledon wheelchair singles title.

Having experienced heartbreak in the last two Wimbledon finals, Hewett's victory was filled with a sense of redemption. The 26-year-old showcased his exceptional skills and determination throughout the match, leaving no doubt about his superiority on the court. When Hewett sealed the title with a powerful backhand return, he expressed his joy by throwing his racquet into the air and dropping his head into his lap, celebrating in front of his enthusiastic supporters.

This triumph also earned Hewett the distinction of becoming only the second male player, alongside Japanese legend Shingo Kunieda, to win both the singles and doubles titles at all four Grand Slam tournaments. A remarkable achievement that further solidifies Hewett's place among the tennis elite.

Hewett now sets his sights on another title, as he aims to emulate Briton's Gordon Reid's feat by winning both the Wimbledon singles and doubles titles in the same year. He will partner with Reid to take on Japan's Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda in what promises to be another exciting match on court three.

The journey to this significant victory was not without its obstacles for Hewett. Two years ago, he came agonizingly close to championship glory, serving for the title four times before ultimately falling short against Kunieda. In last year's final, he had a strong start but faltered, losing to Oda after surrendering a significant lead. However, Hewett remained resolute and motivated, determined to claim the title he coveted the most.

From the outset, it was evident that Hewett was poised to make amends. Aggressively converting his break points, he established an early lead with a powerful forehand winner, displaying his exceptional skills with determination. Although De la Puente, who had triumphed over defending champion Oda in the semifinal, swiftly bounced back, the second seed Hewett elevated his game, consistently overshadowing his opponent.

With controlled aggression and remarkable shot selection, Hewett broke De la Puente twice, sealing a remarkable first set in just 40 minutes. The start of the second set portrayed a more relaxed Hewett, effortlessly finding the lines as he broke De la Puente to take a 1-0 lead. However, both players faced challenges in the warm conditions, resulting in a series of exchanged breaks.

Maintaining his composure, Hewett found himself leading 4-3, but not without facing a challenging deuce on serve. Nevertheless, he held his nerve and secured the crucial hold before breaking his opponent for the final time. With an impressive return winner on his second championship point, Hewett successfully closed the match, placing his name firmly in the record books.
