Wimbledon: Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid win seventh wheelchair doubles title defeating Gustavo Fernandez and Tokito Oda in three sets

Britain's Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid won their seventh wheelchair doubles title together at Wimbledon on Saturday.

The pair staged a superb comeback to defeat reigning Australian Open and US Open champions Tokito Oda and Gustavo Fernandez 2-6 6-1 6-2 on No 1 Court.

Hewett and Reid have now won 25 Grand Slam doubles titles together, while Hewett will have the chance to win his second Wimbledon singles title and first since 2024 when he plays world No 1 Oda on Sunday.

"It's a dream come true to play at our home grand slam and on a court like this, with a crowd like you guys and to come away with a win," Reid said.

"Against a team who we know exactly how strong they are, the US Open and Australian Open champions. When you've got someone with the size of Tokito's forehand and Gustavo's biceps, it's not easy!

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

Hewett and Reid's biggest success in the opening set came from two breaks of the Fernandez serve as the power and pace of their opponents proved to be much.

However, it was not an effort that Fernandez and Oda were able to sustain and Hewett and Reid broke Oda's serve to start the second set before racing to a 4-0 lead.

Reid's prowess at the net became a key element the longer the match continued and he closed out the second set with a delicate backhand dropshot.

The Brits took a 3-0 lead in the final set and Fernandez and Oda were never able to get back on terms, with the world No 1 pairing wrapping up victory after an hour and 47 minutes.

This season marks the 50th anniversary of wheelchair tennis and Wimbledon is marking the 10th anniversary of wheelchair singles events taking place at the All England Club.

Hewett said: "The first set was extremely difficult, these guys 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. But it means the world.

"Ten years ago we won our first doubles title, so who would have thought 10 years ago that we would be sat here with seven titles."

In the quad wheelchair singles semis, Britain's Andy Lapthorne was beaten 6-1 6-1 by second seed Sam Schroder, who will face fellow Dutchman - and No 1 seed - Niels Vink in the final.
