Britain’s Alfie Hewett beat defending champion Tokito Oda in the Australian Open final to win his 10th Grand Slam wheelchair singles title.

The Japanese player clinched Paralympic gold over Hewett last summer and also defeated the 27-year-old in their previous three major finals.

But second seed Hewett got the better of the 18-year-old with a 6-4 6-4 victory to claim his second singles title in Melbourne.

It concludes a successful tournament for Hewett, who won a sixth successive doubles title alongside Gordon Reid on Friday.

“Tokito, we’ve had so many battles and finals over the last couple of years, so thank you for letting me have this one,” Hewett said.

“To try and beat this guy in a final is an impossible task it seems, so I am very happy and overwhelmed with emotion to get my hands on this trophy.”

Hewett won his first Wimbledon singles title last year to complete a career Grand Slam.

“Big congrats to Alfie and your team,” Oda said.

“It’s just the beginning of the year, so I think we have more battles, more finals for this year.”
