Hewett wins singles to complete career Grand Slam

Britain's Alfie Hewett won his first Wimbledon wheelchair singles title to complete a career Grand Slam with a convincing win over Spain's Martin de la Puente.

Hewett fell to agonising defeats in the last two Wimbledon finals but this time looked utterly dominant in his 6-2 6-3 win on Court One.

After taking the title with a crushing backhand return the 26-year-old threw his racquet into the air and then dropped his head into his lap in front of feverish support.

Hewett became the second male player after Japanese legend Shingo Kunieda to win both the singles and doubles of every Grand Slam.
