Alfie Hewett

Alfie is a nine-time Grand Slam singles champion, 21-time Grand Slam doubles champion, Rio 2016 men’s singles and doubles silver medallist, Tokyo 2020 men’s doubles silver medallist, four-time World Team Cup gold medallist.

He started playing wheelchair tennis in 2005, aged 8, at East Anglia Tennis & Squash Club in Norwich. He played his first tournament in 2008 and in 2012 won the first of three singles titles at the Junior Masters in Tarbes, France, an event also won multiple times by his now doubles partner Gordon Reid. Also in 2012, at the age of 14, he won his first international senior men’s singles title in Belgium, winning his semi-final against Spain’s Martin de la Puente, the same player he recently beat to win his first Wimbledon men’s singles title.

In 2013 Alfie led Great Britain to victory in the World Team Cup junior event and two years later he was a member of the Great Britain team that won the men’s World Team Cup title for the first time.

Alfie made a spectacular Paralympic Games debut at Rio 2016Rio, where, as 13th seed, he would go on to reach the first all-British wheelchair tennis gold medal match at a Paralympic Games, against his doubles partner Gordon Reid. Leaving Rio with two silver medals, the following year, in 2017, Alfie won his first Grand Slam singles title at Roland Garros, the venue for the Paris 2024 Paralympic wheelchair tennis event.

Alfie ended 2023 as year-end No.1 in men’s singles for the first time and his recent maiden Wimbledon men’s singles title means that he is just the second men’s wheelchair tennis player to complete the career Grand Slam, having won singles titles at all four Grand Slam tournaments.
