Hewett & Reid win seventh Wimbledon doubles title

British pair Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have won their seventh Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles title as a partnership, fighting back from a set down on Court One to beat Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez and Japan's Tokito Oda 2-6 6-1 6-2.

Fernandez and Oda broke Hewett and Reid in all four of their service games during the first set, but the Britons responded superbly by winning nine of the next 10 games.

That run gave Hewett and Reid a 3-0 lead in the deciding set and they saw out victory in a high-quality final to clinch their 25th Grand Slam doubles title as a duo.

Hewett, 28, and 34-year-old Reid also won the French Open in June, while Fernandez and Oda are holders of the other two Grand Slam titles - the US Open and the Australian Open.

Hewett and Oda will meet again on Sunday in the men's wheelchair singles final.

Oda is the top seed, defending champion and seeking a third singles crown at SW19, while second seed Hewett is aiming to add to his previous title victory in 2024.

Hewett and Reid won the first of their Wimbledon doubles titles together in 2016.

Reid, who was also Wimbledon's first ever men's wheelchair singles champion that year, said: "It's a dream come true to be able to play at our home Grand Slam on a court like this, with a crowd like this.

"We had to be at our best today and thanks to everyone for being part of that dream."

Hewett added: "The first set was extremely difficult, these guys [Fernandez and Oda] played some of their best tennis.

"When you're on a court like this and everyone wants you to win, it can be a bit soul-destroying when you lose that set.

"It means the world. We've had so many finals here and 10 years ago we won our first one. Who would have thought that 10 years on, we'd be sat here with seven titles?"
