Japan’s Tokito Oda wins second Wimbledon wheelchair title

 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.

This was the seventh Grand Slam final between Oda and Hewett, as they have both claimed the last 10 Grand Slam wheelchair titles. On Sunday, Oda was broken four times in the first set, but refused to call it a day. He saved two break points in the final set and eventually came through with victory on his fourth match point. Oda captured his sixth major title, while 27-year-old Hewett was looking for his 11th major title and fell just shy. Hewett in Double Jeopardy

Tokito Oda’s win reflects not only his talent but that wheelchair tennis is in such strong, determined hands.
