British players deliver double success at the US Open on Saturday. Alfie Hewett regains the wheelchair singles title, while Neal Skupski wins the men’s doubles crown.
Hewett’s wheelchair singles final is described as a dominant performance against Tokito Oda, with a 6-0, 7-6 (5) result. Multiple reports highlight the emotional nature of the win, noting Hewett becomes emotional after securing victory and preventing Oda from completing a calendar Grand Slam.
Meanwhile, the outlets consistently credit Skupski with ending a wait to take the US Open men’s doubles title. While specific match details are not provided in the excerpts beyond the outcome, all sources frame the day as a rare combined achievement for Britain across able-bodied doubles and wheelchair singles events.
