Tokito Oda continued his extraordinary reign over men's wheelchair tennis on Sunday, dismantling Great Britain's Alfie Hewett in a one-sided final on Court One to retain his Wimbledon singles title for a second consecutive year.
The 20-year-old Japanese star, the top seed and defending champion, swept through the match 6-1 6-1 in what amounted to a clinical demolition. The victory marked his sixth successive Grand Slam singles title, an unbeaten run at the majors stretching back to a defeat against Hewett in the 2025 Australian Open final.
Oda has now accumulated 10 Grand Slam singles titles, drawing level with Hewett himself on the all-time list. Together the pair sit joint-second in history, though both remain well behind the legendary Shingo Kunieda, who amassed 28 titles across his career. Remarkably, since the start of 2023, every single Grand Slam men's wheelchair singles crown has been shared between just these two players, 10 for Oda, four for Hewett.
Hewett's afternoon unravelled particularly on serve, where he racked up 10 double faults across the match, including six in the opening set alone. Speaking courtside afterwards, a candid Hewett admitted he was "extremely disappointed" but warmly acknowledged his rival's brilliance, noting that Oda had now claimed three Grand Slams in 2026 and predicting the US Open calendar slam would be firmly in the Japanese star's sights.
The result stung a little more given that Hewett had celebrated a seventh Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles title alongside Gordon Reid just the day before, partnering perfectly with his compatriot.
Elsewhere, Niels Vink claimed a fourth straight Wimbledon quad singles title, defeating fellow Dutchman Sam Schroder 6-1 6-3 in the final.
TennisDraw bracket users who backed Oda to defend his title will be feeling very smug right now.
