Norfolk wheelchair tennis star Alfie Hewett has wrapped up one half of his title double target at the Australian Open.

Hewett, from Cantley, and long-time playing partner Gordon Reid combined to win their sixth successive men’s doubles title.

The pair extended their record-breaking haul of Grand Slam titles together to 22 as they beat Spain’s Daniel Caverzaschi and Stephane Houdet of France 6-2, 6-4, defeating their opponents for the second week in a row after crucial service breaks in the sixth game of both sets.

Hewett, who now bids to win his second Australian Open singles title on Saturday against Japan’s Tokito Oda, said: “We are thrilled obviously. You want to start the year strong, and here in Australia is a great opportunity to get some confidence, So to go out there and do it for the sixth time as well, it's a really nice feeling. We're so hungry for it. We want to keep going, push those numbers as far as we possibly can.”
