Day 14: Hewett loses out to Oda in singles final
Alfie Hewett finished runner-up in the Wimbledon men’s wheelchair singles to world No.1 Tokito Oda.
The Japanese star’s big groundstrokes proved the difference as Oda beat world No.2 Hewett 6-1, 6-1 in an hour and nine minutes.
Hewett had defeated Oda in the men’s doubles final yesterday alongside Gordon Reid, but the 20-year-old was at his best, defeating Hewett in front of a packed-out No.1 Court.
Oda becomes the third player to win three or more wheelchair singles titles at Wimbledon after Diede De Groot and Niels Vink.
He also equals Hewett on 10 career Grand Slam singles titles – only behind Shingo Kunieda with 28.

Wheelchair
Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid were crowned Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles champions for a seventh time after defeating Japan's Tokito Oda and Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez in an action-packed final.
Oda and Fernandez played an incredible opening set, but the experienced Brits fought their way back to clinch the title 2-6, 6-1, 6-2.
Hewett and Reid channelled the energy of the No.1 Court crowd to save break points on both of their serves in the final set at 3-1 and 4-2 to see out the win.
It marks their 25th Grand Slam title together as a team - a new milestone for the most successful partnership in history.
British wild card Arthur Fery's dream Wimbledon run has come to an end in the semi-finals after falling short in a hardfought battle against second seed and Roland Garros champion Alexander Zverev.
Fery hung close to Zverev in the first set, but couldn’t spark the comeback, eventually losing 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 in two hours and 15 minutes.
Fery was bidding to become the second British man to reach the Wimbledon singles final in the Open Era, after Andy Murray.
The home favourite made a strong start against the Grand Slam champion, immediately recovering from an early break to force an opening-set tie-break. However, Zverev drew on all of his experience competing at this stage of a major to produce a flawless tie-break performance and edge ahead.

The big-serving German gave little away behind serve, winning 78% of service points (62/79) across the match and rattling through his service games with ease. Meanwhile, he applied increasing pressure on return, particularly in the second set, where he won more than half of the points (15/28) and converted two of his three break points to seize control of the contest.
Trailing 4-2 in the third set, Fery looked in danger of falling a double break behind but showed his resilience by winning six consecutive points to stay within touching distance before the second seed served out victory to seal a place in his maiden Wimbledon final and bring an end to Fery's dream run.

After dropping a nailbiting opener, Hewett went on a run of eight games to take control of the match. Serving for the match at 5-2 in the decider, Hewett was forced to withstand a late comeback from Fernandez, who recovered one of the breaks.
However, Hewett responded immediately - bringing up three match points on the Argentine’s serve before sealing the win to send the British crowd onto their feet.

However, Andy Lapthorne bowed out in the quad singles semi-final against second seed Sam Schroder 6-1, 6-1.
