- World No 1 adds singles crown to doubles he won on Friday
An emotional Alfie Hewett claimed his seventh grand slam title in wheelchair singles and first at the Australian Open before revealing his ambition to be a figurehead for the sport.
Hewett had lost in the final at Melbourne Park for the past two years but made it third time lucky, defeating the 16-year-old Tokito Oda from Japan 6-3, 6-1. The success completed a golden two days for the Norfolk player, who also won the doubles title with his British teammate Gordon Reid on Friday.
