Norfolk's Alfie Hewett won his fourth wheelchair singles title at the US Open.

The 25-year-old from Norwich beat Scotland's Gordon Reid, who is also his doubles partner, 6-4 6-3.

It is an eighth singles grand slam crown for Hewett, to add to his three French Open and one Australian Open titles.

"It's not easy playing your doubles partner in a grand slam final, but it's nice to see him back where he belongs," said Hewett.

"It's the stuff of dreams to come here and play on a stadium court and to hold the trophy for a fourth time is something I'm very proud of."

It was a first US Open final for Reid, who won his two grand slam finals, at Wimbledon and in Australia, in 2016.

He said: "Congratulations to Alfie, he's been the best player this week and he deserves the title.

"I'm disappointed at my level today, unfortunately nothing really went right for me but hopefully I'll get another chance soon."
