Japan’s Tokito Oda captured his second Wimbledon men’s wheelchair singles title, overcoming Britain’s Alfie Hewett 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 in a moving and exciting encounter. This was no ordinary victory, of course—an epic battle between the sport’s top two rivals in wheelchair tennis. Oda, just 19 years old, made a comeback after losing the first set and remained steady to come through in three close sets.
