3 championship points!

One goes. But he gets the second and Alfie is Wimbledon champion for the first time in his career!

Well done, Alfie!

I'm surprised that's his first Wimbledon singles title, as he seems to have won every else! Does that complete his career grand slam or is he still missing a title?

Glad I asked, as I see you've updated his PoM entry. smile Such an impressive achievenment. (Not to mention all the doubles titles.)

So that just leaves an Olympic gold to get. Three silvers to date.

Alfie is now the only player ever to have singles and doubles titles at each slam, the other is Japanese icon Kunieda; Alfie also has 30 total slams, 9 singles and 21 doubles. Only Kunieda has more, with 50.

Fair to say, Alfie is the second greatest mens wheelchair player of all time. GOAT2

Not much left in the wheelchair season now; the super series season is over, as is the slam season with the US Open not taking place due to the paralympics.

The paralympics start end of August and are the next big event, with the season ending NEC Masters the only other big event left this season. The masters are in mid November, leaving big gaps in the calendar. There are a few smaller events taking place, of course.

But it feels like a miss from the ITF schedulers.

They would have had to play the US Open wheelchair event during qualifying week and I guess that wasn't practical. And the British Open moved from hard courts in Nottingham in July to grass at Roehampton before Wimbledon. But otherwise the calendar is largely unchanged.
