Two-time Wimbledon wheelchair singles finalist Alfie Hewett makes a winning start as he defeats fellow Briton Ben Bartram.
Two-time Wimbledon wheelchair singles finalist Alfie Hewett made a winning start to his 2024 campaign as he defeated fellow Briton Ben Bartram.
Bartram made a dream start on his Wimbledon debut by breaking the Hewett serve in the first game of the match, but Hewett fought back to win all six of the remaining games in the opening set. A fine cross-court winner gave Bartram one of the breaks back, before the pair exchanged breaks but Hewett then served out the win, sealing victory with an ace.
The wheelchair events finally began on Wednesday after rain had caused Tuesday's scheduled matches to be postponed.
