Wimbledon LIVE: Djokovic can capitalise on Alcaraz ‘curse’ as Princess Kate attends final | Tennis | Sport
Alfie Hewett has won his first Wimbledon wheelchair singles title.
After defeats in 2022 and 2023, Hewett got the job done by beating Martin de la Puente 6-2 6-3.
And he was very emotional afterwards: “I don’t want to look over here because I’ll probably start crying. I want to thank my team, they’re like a second family over there, we’ve gone through a lot together, a lot of highs and some lows.
“But no matter how many times you get knocked down you can still get back up and keep trying, and that’s all down to you guys.”
“And to my quiet bunch over there, you’re an incredible lot. It’s obviously not been an easy couple of years.
“I want to thank my grandad who’s here today. Some say we go way back, he was here for my very first Wimbledon performance and it’s really nice you can he here today to celebrate this win.
“And to the rest of my family, you’re all very special and I love you lots.”
