Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid: Record-breaking tennis duo in numbers

Britain's Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have won the men's Australian Open wheelchair doubles title for the sixth time in a row.

They beat Spain's Daniel Caverzaschi and Frenchman Stephane Houdet in straight sets at Melbourne Park.

Hewett and Reid have now claimed an incredible 17 of the last 20 Grand Slam titles in the format.

Let's take a look at some of the pair's other career highlights in numbers.

22 Grand Slam titles

The pair have now won an incredible 22 Grand Slam titles together.

Their first was nine years ago, when they picked up the men's wheelchair doubles titles together at Wimbledon in 2016.

Since then they have claimed five more Wimbledon titles together, six at the Australian Open, five doubles titles at the US Open and they've won the French Open five times too.

8 and 13 years old

Both Hewett and Reid began playing wheelchair tennis separately in 2005 - Hewett was eight years old, whilst Reid 13 years old at the time.

Their talent quickly shone through and they soon started picking up multiple titles.

In 2012, aged 14, Hewett won the first of three singles titles at the Junior Masters in Tarbes, France, an event also won multiple times by doubles partner Gordon Reid.

Hewett also won his first international senior men's singles title the same year.

In 2017 Reid helped Great Britain to win the World Team Cup junior title, aged just 15.

Tennis history in 2021

2021 was a special year for the pair.

Reid and Hewett became the first wheelchair tennis partnership in history to complete the Grand Slam in men's doubles.

This means they won all four major tennis tournaments in the men's wheelchair doubles in the same year.

They finished as champions at the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon AND the US Open.

2024 Paralympic Games

It was third time lucky for Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, as the pair became Paralympic doubles champions at the 2024 Games in Paris.

They had previously lost the Paralympic doubles finals at Rio 2016 and Tokyo in 2021.

After the final, Hewett says winning his first Paralympic gold medal alongside Reid was "the stuff of dreams".

Reid explained: "It's something we have been desperate for for a long time now and we have come so close twice and felt that heartbreak, felt that pain.

"That's been some of the toughest moments in my career. To sit here with the gold around our necks, it's up there with one of the best," he added.
